[Hydrocephalus in newborns and infants at the Nouakchott National Hospital].

Neonatal and infant hydrocephalus is an important factor for mortality and morbidity in developing countries with limited diagnostic and therapeutic means. The purpose of this study was to report our experience in the management of this disease in Mauritania. We conducted a retrospective study of 126 medical records of newborns aged 0-24 months treated for hydrocephalus in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Nouakchott National Hospital from June 2014 to June 2018.
