[Hydrocephalus in children].
The files of all young patients, aged from one day to 17 years, that were operated for hydrocephalus in the Service of Neurosurgery of the Citadelle Hospital from 1987 to 2003 were reviewed and analysed. Over these 16 years of practice, a shunt was placed in a total of 194 children. This paper is mainly concerned with the etiologies of hydrocephalus and the complications related to the surgical procedure.
