title: [Premature craniosynostosis after ventricular shunting in hydrocephalic children (author's translation)].
abstract: The cause of premature craniosynostosis after ventricular shunting in hydrocephalic children is until now not completely understood. In 331 children we observed 41 premature synostoses (12,4%) of the satural sagittalis, coronaria, lambdoidea, either singular or in various combinations. These findings are compared with clinical data and X-ray findings of skull and ventricular system of the patients. The results suggest a congenital origin, in all probability caused by primary malformation of the basis of the skull. Most of the cranio-stenoses are attributed to a common origin of hydrocephalus and craniostenosis.
