title: [Exploratory strategy for hydrocephalus in adults].
abstract: Decision theory can be useful for the determination of an optimal diagnostic and/or therapeutic strategy. Of course, the physician remains the only decision-maker, but these methods, quite simple, introduce a scientific background to medical decisions by the quantitative evaluation of the consequences of the choices. We will present the use of such a methodology in the treatment of adults presenting hydrocephalus.
