Since hydrocephalus is a multifactorial disease with a diverse pathogenesis, no single, truly ideal classification of its exists. Hydrocephalus has been classified from various standpoints, each classification reflecting the current level of knowledge about hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus needs to be classified according to the purpose of the study. There are two major categories of classification of hydrocephalus: academic and practical. Untreatable hydrocephalus still occurs. We propose a practical clinical classification based on the time of onset and the etiology for use in the clinico-epidemiologic study of intractable hydrocephalus and its future management.
由于脑积水是一种具有多种发病机制的多因素疾病，目前尚无单一、真正理想的分类方法。脑积水已从多个角度进行了分类，每种分类都反映了当前对脑积水的认识水平。脑积水需要根据研究目的进行分类。脑积水的分类主要有两大类：学术性和实用性。无法治疗的脑积水仍然存在。我们提出一种基于发病时间和病因的实用临床分类方法，用于难治性脑积水的临床流行病学研究及其未来的治疗。
