Hydrocephalus during rehabilitation following severe TBI. Relation to recovery, outcome, and length of stay.

Background: Post traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) is a frequent complication during rehabilitation following severe TBI. However, the diagnosis of PTH is not straightforward and despite shunting recovery may be delayed.

Objective: To study the influence of PTH on recovery and outcome during rehabilitation.

Hydrocephalus following severe traumatic brain injury in adults. Incidence, timing, and clinical predictors during rehabilitation.

Objective: To investigate timing and clinical predictors that might predict hydrocephalus emerging during rehabilitation until 1 year following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Background: Posttraumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) may lead to clinical deterioration and poor outcome if untreated. However, PTH can be successfully treated if detected.
