    Journal: Padiatr Grenzgeb; 1989; 28(3):149-56. PubMed ID: 2761991.
    Abstract:
    Our experiences in the course of illness of very low birth weight infants suffered from posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus are described. Clinical proceedings for performing of the hydrocephalus are explained, advantages and disadvantages of treatment by serial lumbal punctures, influences of drugs on the dilatation of the ventricles and the insertion of ventriculo-peritoneal shunts are discussed. The outcome was unfavourable in hydrocephalus following Grad III ore IV hemorrhage. Therefore the prevention of severe hydrocephalus must be the common sense of obstetricians and neonatologists.
