[Infection of the shunt system in children treated for hydrocephalus].

From 1983 to 1988 25 infected shunt systems were found in 205 hydrocephalic children. Four children were treated successfully with antibiotics given into the shunt system and intravenously. Seventeen shunt systems had to be removed and Rikham reservoir or external drainage implanted. Antibiotics were given both into the ipsilateral ventricle and intravenously. In four children with "low dynamic" hydrocephalus the shunts were removed and antibiotics were given intravenously only. Six patients died, in eight neurological impairment developed.

[Clinical course of post-traumatic epilepsy in children].

The authors review critically the traditionally accepted views on post-traumatic epilepsy in children. The analysis is based on 385 children hospitalized for craniocerebral injuries and 42 of these children (10.91%) in whom post-traumatic epilepsy developed. In the pathogenesis of this epilepsy development of essential importance were early beginning and frequently recurring attacks. Serial EEG was useful and the clinical pattern was initially non-characteristic. In the prevention of post-traumatic epilepsy careful prevention of secondary changes and primary neurosurgical management are of particular importance in the acute phase, while the effect of anticonvulsive treatment as prophylaxis is still a problem at issue.
