두부 손상 환자에서 발생하는 뇌실 확장증에 대한 임상적 고찰 = Ventricular Enlargrment after Severe Closed Head Injury

국문 초록 (Abstract)

두부 외상 환자의 장기간 경과 관찰 중 발견되는 뇌실 확장증을 CT로 진단하고 이들의 임상 경과 관찰 및 뇌실의 폐쇄로 인한 뇌수종증의 빈도, 이들에 대한 뇌실-복강 단락술의 효용성에 대하여 고찰하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We studies 392 cases of severe closed head injury, and found 49 cases of significant ventricular enlargement. They were classified into shunting group who were given shunt procedure and non-shunting group who were not given shunt procedure to determine the incidence of true communicating hydrocephalus and meaningful relation between ventricular enlargement and clinical outcome or residual disability, an the effectiveness of the shunt procedure.
We found the total incidence of the post-traumatic ventricular enlargement is 20%, and 12% of them is true, adult acquired communicating hydrocephalus. Ventricular enlargrment with, or due to diffuse cortical atrophy cases has extraventricular obstruction factor for devoting ventricular enlargement in high proportion, and were seen by clinical outcome after shunt procedure and diagnostic study such as isotope cisternography.
