[Craniocerebral trauma in children operated on earlier for hydrocephalus].

The specific features of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management of brain injury are considered in 48 patients earlier anastomosed for progressive hydrocephalus. The leading features are mild focal neurological disorders, prevalent overall cerebral disturbances and no dislocational manifestations. These features are associated with the absence of hypertensive phenomena due to the presence of a drainage system and morphological substrate in children suffering from hydrocephalus, which affects the outcome of brain injury and its treatment.
