Infants And Young Children Hydrocephalus Caused By Softening Of The Brain After Ventricle Peritoneal Shunt Risk Factor Analysis

ObjectiveThe aim is to analyze the influence factors of infant children with hydrocephalus line after ventricle peritoneal who appear the softening of the brain. By the same time, discuss the control of key points. MethodFrom 2012 July to December 2014, In the retrospective analysis of the third hospital Zhengzhou university’s clinical data.There were 189 patients included in the study. The average age was 4.68± 0.85 months(0-3year old).The study recorded the patient gender、 presence of preterm birth(age)、the progress of the disease rate、the types of hydrocephalus、preoperative severity hydrocephalus、postoperative drainage tube obstruction、drainage tube type and presence of intracranial infection of the patients. At last,The Logistic regression analysis of V- Ps independent risk factors of postoperative children complicated with softening of the brain was made in the study. ResultsThe risk factors of Hydrocephalus illness progress speed, preoperative severity hydrocephalus, postoperative drainage tube obstruction, drainage tube type, presence of intracranial infection, presence of preterm infant V- Ps of postoperative children complicated with softening of the brain. According to the characteristics of each model hydrocephalus. Choosing appropriate treatment can reduce the risk of a softening of the brain and soften the severity. ConclusionFollow-up of 1 year, there were 33 cases of encephalomalacia. The regression analysis of Logistic revealed that hydrocephalus severity、postoperative drainage tube with or without obstruction、the types of drainage tube、tymptomatic intracranial infection、premature delivery、the progress of the disease are independent predictors for concurrent softening of the brain. The gender and the hydrocephalus type of the patients have no obvious correlations with the postoperative concurrent softening of the brain.
