Hydrocephalus is the most common and devastating condition affecting the fetus. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant literature through bibliometric analysis. The survey covers the articles related to congenital hydrocephalus published in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2022. In addition to repeated literature, reviews and articles are included. We visualized the annual publication number, citation frequency, country/region, institution, author, periodical, and keywords with a range of software such as VOSviewer (1.6.18), Microsoft Excel 2019 (Redmond) and online analysis platform (https://bibliometric.com/ document). The results showed that the United States made the most important contribution to the research on fetal hydrocephalus. China's contribution has grown and developed strongly in recent years. The key words were mainly divided into four categories: basic research, epidemiology, treatment, and diagnostics. The number of publications related to fetal hydrocephalus has increased significantly, and it has a good development prospect in prenatal diagnosis and treatment.
脑积水是影响胎儿的最常见且极具破坏性的病症。本研究的目的是通过文献计量分析对相关文献进行全面概述。该调查涵盖了2003年1月1日至2022年12月31日在科学网核心合集（WoSCC）数据库中发表的与先天性脑积水相关的文章。除重复文献外，还纳入了综述和文章。我们使用VOSviewer（1.6.18）、Microsoft Excel 2019（雷德蒙德）和在线分析平台（https://bibliometric.com/ document）等一系列软件对年度发表数量、被引频次、国家/地区、机构、作者、期刊和关键词进行了可视化处理。结果表明，美国对胎儿脑积水研究的贡献最为突出。近年来，中国的贡献呈强劲增长态势。关键词主要分为四类：基础研究、流行病学、治疗和诊断。与胎儿脑积水相关的出版物数量显著增加，在产前诊断和治疗方面具有良好的发展前景。
