title: Benign hydrocephalus in infants. A computed tomographic and clinical correlative study.
abstract: During the past 3 years we studied benign hydrocephalus in 7 infants, who presented symptoms of macrocrania and mild psychomotor retardation. Computed tomography (CT) revealed dilatation of CSF space resembling brain atrophy or subdural effusion. These children were observed clinically and were found gradually to restore to normal with regard to CT changes, as well as clinically. These patients were compared with another group of patients with subdural effusion or hematoma who needed tapping or shunting.
