Cases of hydrocephalus in toddlers are frequent in our setting. Regardless of the patient's age, the most prevailing aetiologies (infections, haemorrhage, myelomeningocele) and technological conditions (neuroendoscope) are less favourable for ETV. The use of ETV in the treatment of hydrocephalus in sub-Saharan Africa is still marginal and needs to be encouraged in selected cases. The prevention of non-tumoral hydrocephalus is of critical importance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
