A series of 182 unselected and unoperated cases of hydrocephalus, observed by one individual during a period of 20 years, were followed in an effort to determine the natural history of hydrocephalus. At the time of this report, 89 of the patients had died and 81 arrested spontaneously and the remaining 12 were either progressive or could not be traced. In most cases the hydrocephalus was acquired either through infection or perinatal trauma and anoxia. The children were all under the age of 13 years and hydrocephalus was first observed to develop usually by 6 months of age. The survivors with arrested hydrocephalus frequently had other physical handicaps in addition to the enlargement of the head. The intelligence of the survivors was tested and 75% of those with spontaneous arrest were educable and the I.Q. of 57% was 85 or above. The author points out that the findings in this survey are in contrast to the statements generally made in the literature: that the possibility of spontaneous arrest and preservation of a degree of intelligence permitting education is extremely poor. The bearing of the findings on the evaluation of the results of surgical therapy are discussed.

The Relationship

A sample of 75 mentally retarded children, including 14 with arrested hydrocephalus, 39 with other diagnoses of brain damage, and 22 familial cases, was tested for eidetic imagery, in order to clarify the relationship between eidetic imagery and neuropathology. The hypotheses tested were that the frequency of eidetic imagery is higher among hydrocephalics than among other brain-damaged children and higher among hydrocephalics than among familials. The data confirmed the hypotheses and are interpreted as supporting a theory in which particular structural impairments in the visual system may delay neural development and result in a persistence of eidetic imagery.

Arrested Hydrocephalus

Abstract Two infants with hydrocephalus and compartmentalization of the lateral ventricles due to cerebrospinal fluid infection were treated by fenestration of the ventricular cysts using the argon laser through a steerable flexible endoscope. Both children had undergone failed multiple shunting procedures that attempted to drain the lateral ventricular cysts. One child had chronic granulomatous disease and persistent Candida ventriculitis and meningitis. His infection resolved after removal of multiple shunt systems was made possible by endoscopic laser fenestration to convert a multilocular to a unilocular hydrocephalus. Postoperative computed tomographic scans and head circumference measurements showed arrested hydrocephalus in both cases, and both children remain symptom-free 6 months after operation. The argon laser was used to coagulate and incise the ventricular septae in both cases. The steerable flexible endoscope enabled excellent visualization of the ventricular system without manipulation of the endoscope at the corticotomy site. Necessary improvements in the design of the flexible endoscope and the delivery system for the argon laser are discussed.
