  • Title: Subdural hematoma in a case of hydrocephalus and macrocrania. Experience with a pressure-adjustable valve.
    Author: Dietrich U, Lumenta C, Sprick C, Majewski B.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1987; 3(4):242-4. PubMed ID: 3690565.
    Abstract:
    A child with hydrocephalus and macrocrania was treated by a shunt procedure. After placement of a bilateral ventriculo-atrial shunt subdural hematomas developed on both sides. Burr hole drainage and insertion of a pressure-adjustable valve were used to obliterate the subdural hematomas and to influence the outflow resistance of the shunt.
