Ventriculosubgaleal shunting for post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in premature neonates.

Background: The management of hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular haemorrhage in neonates can be controversial. Temporary diversion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is often required due to the low birth weight and high risks of shunting in these patients. Ventriculosubgaleal (VSG) CSF diversion is an effective way of achieving this goal whilst minimising the risks of complications.
