Abstract

Hydrocephalus is an unbalanced condition between the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We reported a child with multiloculated hydrocephalus who developed several complications. Our team was challenged to manage his issues during five years of follow up. We performed multicystic cerebral shunts despite the neuroendoscopic evidence.
