Pediatric Hydrocephalus by Ns. Arif Rohman Mansur S.Kep. M.Kep., is an in-depth exploration of hydrocephalus. This comprehensive guide delves into the multifaceted nature of hydrocephalus, beginning with its definition, incidence, and the crucial importance of early detection and intervention to prevent severe developmental delays. It examines the various causes and risk factors, including congenital abnormalities, premature birth, infections during pregnancy, intraventricular hemorrhage in newborns, central nervous system infections, trauma, and tumors. The book thoroughly discusses the clinical presentation of hydrocephalus, highlighting the range of symptoms from an abnormally large head size in infants to severe headaches, cognitive impairments, and physical delays in older children. Emphasizing the critical role of diagnostic tools, it covers physical and neurological examinations, ultrasound, MRI, CT scans, and neurosonography in accurately diagnosing the condition. Treatment options are detailed, focusing on both surgical and non-surgical interventions, including ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting, ventriculoatrial (VA) shunting, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), and ETV with choroid plexus cauterization (ETV-CPC). The book also highlights the importance of regular monitoring and comprehensive support to manage potential complications and improve long-term outcomes. Additionally, it explores the broader implications of hydrocephalus on a child’s cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development, addressing issues such as attention, executive, and memory dysfunctions, as well as the emotional challenges faced by both children and their families. Social challenges, including stigmatization and bullying, are also discussed, providing strategies for supporting affected children through early assessment, rehabilitation, nutritional counseling, and specialized care. In its conclusion, the book recaps the key points, stressing the importance of raising awareness and promoting early intervention.
