Autonomic functions were studied in three patients with hydrencephalus and five with hydrocephalus. Autonomic failure of central origin was found in the patients with hydrencephalus; whereas, those suffering from hydrocephalus had essentially normal autonomic function. In two patients with hydrencephalus, the hypothalamus was markedly abnormal but the rest of the autonomic nervous system was histologically normal. From this it is concluded that in some patients with mental and motor retardation, autonomic failure may be of cerebral origin but that this is not a feature of patients with hydrocephalus.
对3例脑积水患者和5例脑积水患者的自主神经功能进行了研究。脑积水患者存在中枢性自主神经功能衰竭；而脑积水患者的自主神经功能基本正常。在2例脑积水患者中，下丘脑明显异常，但自主神经系统的其他部分在组织学上是正常的。由此得出结论，在一些智力和运动发育迟缓的患者中，自主神经功能衰竭可能源于大脑，但这不是脑积水患者的特征。
