Fifty-two children with hydrocephalus had ventriculo-superior sagittal sinus shunts installed. Hydrocephalus was communicating in 18 patients and noncommunicating in 34. Eleven patients died in the immediate postoperative period: 2 from intraventricular hemorrhage; 7 from midline tumors, who were moribund on admission; and 2 from postoperative infection. Forty-one patients recovered from the operation, but the 17 who had tumors eventually died from their disease. Of the 24 surviving patients, 7 were lost to follow-up. The remaining 17 patients were followed for one to six years (average, 4 years, 9 months). Of the 24 patients, 9 (37.5%) needed revision of the tube because of blockage, 6 in the intraventricular end and 3 in the sinus end.
52例脑积水患儿接受了脑室-上矢状窦分流术。其中18例为交通性脑积水，34例为非交通性脑积水。11例患者在术后短期内死亡：2例死于脑室内出血；7例死于中线肿瘤，入院时已奄奄一息；2例死于术后感染。41例患者术后康复，但17例患有肿瘤的患者最终死于疾病。在24例存活患者中，7例失访。其余17例患者随访1至6年（平均4年9个月）。在这24例患者中，9例（37.5%）因分流管堵塞需要进行翻修，其中6例是脑室端堵塞，3例是窦端堵塞。
