Hydrocephalus Management in the ICU
摘要
Hydrocephalus is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain’s ventricles, leading to increased intracranial pressure (ICP). This condition can arise from various etiologies, including congenital malformations, infections, hemorrhage, tumors, and idiopathic causes. Effective management in the ICU requires a multidisciplinary approach encompassing clinical evaluation, neuroimaging, intracranial pressure monitoring, medical and surgical interventions, and rigorous postoperative care [1, 2].
