【Abstract】 Objective To explore the efficacy and complications of surgical treatment for secondary hydrocephalus of cryptococcal menigitis. Methods The clinical data of 26 patients with secondary hydrocephalus of cryptococcal meningitis who underwent ventricular drainage (11 cases) and ventriculoperitoneal shunting (15 cases) procedures in our department from 1980 to 2002 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Both operation approaches had good effect on the secondary hydrocephalus, but ventriculoperitoneal shunting procedure was safer and more persistent. Conclusion Shunting procedure is a safe and effective therapy for hydrocephalus in patients with cryptococcal meningitis.更多还原
