Programmable valves have gained increasing popularity in the complex treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus. Over the last decade, adjustable serial valves have gradually replaced fixed-pressure valves in the authors’ department. The present study investigates this development by analyzing shunt- and valve-related outcomes for this vulnerable population.

Hemispherectomy is a complex surgical intervention for medically refractory epilepsy, and its surgical sequelae continue to be defined. The incidence, timing, and predictors of postoperative hydrocephalus are not well understood. Correspondingly, the aim of this study was to define the natural history of the development of hydrocephalus after hemispherectomy based on the authors’ institutional experience.

There is a paucity of information on pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) care in Asia and Latin America. In this study, the authors aimed to describe the clinical practices of emergency departments (EDs) participating in the Saline in Asia and Latin-America Neurotrauma in the Young (SALTY) study, by comparing designated trauma centers (DTCs) and nontrauma centers (NTCs) in their networks.

Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA), a congenital abnormality of the optic nerve, may be associated with moyamoya arteriopathy, a cerebrovascular abnormality. In this study, the authors aimed to define the temporal evolution of cerebrovascular arteriopathy in patients with MGDA to characterize a rational strategy for screening and management over time.

Although medical advances have allowed most patients with spina bifida (SB) to survive into adulthood, these patients may have physical impairments, urological complications, infections, and neurocognitive deficits. These factors can cause psychological distress and impact the transition from pediatric to adult care.
