Objective: The current study aimed at evaluating experience with pediatric hydrocephalus and reviewing time trends and age-related differences in etiology, management, and outcomes of pediatric hydrocephalus at a tertiary care center in a south Asian country.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on case note review of pediatric patients (age, 1 month to 15 years) with hydrocephalus managed at Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi, over an 18-year period (1988-2005). For analysis, the study period was divided into two epochs (period A, 1988-1996; period B, 1997-2005) and study population was divided into two age groups (0-12 months and 1-15 years).
