In our study, the number of children was 200, and the percentage of male children was 60%, while the percentage of female children was 40%. The number of adults in our study was 626, the percentage of adult males was 63%, while the percentage of adult females was 37%, and the percentage of those under 40 years of age was 75%. The percentage of their anterior horn thickness more than 12 mm was 60%, and those with an anterior horn thickness less than 12 mm was 5%, and those whose anterior horn thickness was 12 mm was 35%, and the percentage of those whose ages were older than 40 years was 25%, and they had a percentage The presence of thickening in the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle 15–18 mm was 30%, the percentage of thickening in the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle 19–25 mm was 60%, and the percentage of thickening in the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle 26–30 mm was 10%, and the percentage of those with third ventricle width 5–6 mm 55%, and those with a width of 7–8 mm 30%, and those with a width of 9 mm 15%, and the percentage of those whose ages are older than 60 years 25%, were diagnosed with cortical atrophy at a rate of 65%, and the percentage of those with subcortical atrophy was 35%, and cases of atrophy were accompanied by expansion of the third ventricle by 15%, expansion of the cisterns and grooves by 15%, expansion of the lateral and third ventricles by 42%, and the rate of expansion of the lateral and third ventricles by 10%, and among the causes of dilation of the ventricles is senile atrophy and aging by 65%, due to degenerative 15%, and due to demyelinating lesions 5%, and due to chemotherapy or drinking alcohol 105, and due to trauma 5%, and the percentage of acute hydrocephalus with visible regurgitation or fluid around the middle horns was 10%, and the percentage of subacute hydrocephalus was 25%, and the percentage of hydrocephalus was 25%. Chronic 65%, the percentage of large skull size on the lateral and anteroposterior X-rays was 90%, the percentage of separation of the sutures due to high intracranial tension was 85%, the percentage of enlargement of the upper fontanel was 54%, the percentage of forehead protrusion was 30%, and the percentage of presence of the copper hammer sign was 74%, and the radiological signs on the plain image in adults, changes were observed in the sella turcica and were a basic indicator of expansion and axial tomography procedure, and the rate of atrophy of the anterior wall of the sella turcica was 15%, erosion, thinning and discontinuity in the sella turcica floor 15%, and the shortening of the saddle back gives a tapered appearance to the back of the saddle 13%
The lowering of the land of the saddle with its protrusion into the sphenoid sinus was 10%, and the Evans hair increased by more than 3%, with a rate of 79% in laminar and 89% in resonance. Therefore, the resonator is considered primarily the golden radiographic examination to diagnose dropsy, and secondly the axial tomography, and simple images remain of little use, and with the focus on the effect of dropsy on the corpus callosum, where we measure the thickness of the corpus callosum in normal cases (6 mm), and in cases of dropsy, it presses on the corpus callosum and causes... Normal thinning and thickness of the corpus callosum without the effect of hydrocephalus is 50%, and moderate thinning of the corpus callosum (3–4) mm is 30%, and severe thinning of the corpus callosum (1–2) mm is 20%. Cases of hydrocephalus are subject to observation and drug treatment (35%). ), and the cases of hydrocephalus that were treated surgically with shingles, 65%, and the places where shingles were placed: the anterior lateral ventricular horn (65%), and the lateral (temporal) horn, 35%. In a study on complications of shingles after surgical intervention (90%), complications appeared within three months. The first (10%) was in the late stages, and the percentage of clinical diagnosis was the presence of increased intracranial tension, cases of mental deterioration, psychological symptoms, and transient specific headaches.
Dizziness, high fever, and sweating (75%, 25%, 60%, 33%, 23%, 20%, respectively), and the percentage of other complications such as a broken heartbeat after constant exposure to trauma is 15%, and infection (ventricular infection + ventricle suppuration) 33. %, meningitis, especially in children, 45%, taking into account that these percentages are cases of complications, and not of the total percentage, and abdominal fluids are formed (peritoneal ascites) 25% and cases of shortened tubes seen in children with a result of the child’s growth 3%, and in detail Cases of persistent (non-obstructive) hydrocephalus. The causes were determined by following up and studying the patients’ files, according to what was mentioned in the Mouwasat and Children’s Hospital, as follows: subarachnoid hemorrhage 10%, intraventricular hemorrhage 65%, meningitis 10%, and scarring and fibrosis of the area. subarachnoid lesions 5%, and septic lesions that prevent absorption of cerebrospinal fluid 10%, and the causes of non-communicating hydrocephalus were colloid cysts 5%, narrowing of the canal of Sylvius 5%, ependymitis 74%, obstruction of the fourth ventricle 16%, and the clinical symptoms of hydrocephalus cases in Older children (10–12 years): High-pitched crying 7%, behavioral changes (in personality and memory) 3%, changes in head appearance and eye spacing 45%, involuntary eye movements 42%, difficulty feeding 3%, sleeping Excessive 14%, headache 6%, and in children born at young ages before the stage of fontanelle closure, a study was conducted with transfontanal echocardiography to reduce radiation exposure, as the study constituted 10% of the sample. In a CT study of ascites, focusing on several signs, including asymmetry of the frontal and occipital horns, a rate of 4% was observed (normal view), the size of the right lateral ventricle was 76% larger, and the size of the left lateral ventricle was 24% larger.
As for the incidence of complications of shingles compared to international studies: cyst obstruction 11%, cyst infection 35%, cyst migration 1.3%, cerebrospinal fluid ascites 0.9%.
By CT radiological monitoring after installing the implant: 85% of patients had control images taken after 3 months. 65% of patients had CT scans after 6 months.
