Hemorragia intraventricular del prematuro e hidrocefalia post-hemorrágica. Propuesta de un protocolo de manejo basado en la derivación ventrículo-peritoneal precoz

We propose a diagnostic and treatment protocol for preterm neonates with haemorrhagic hydrocephalus that we have been using since 2003 at our department. In our experience it is possible to shunt patients starting at 1500 g with low morbidity. The use of protocols can help in reducing complications and improving functional results in these patients.
