초록
Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus is a major problem in premature infants. We describe our experience with a neonate that was an extremely low birth weight infant with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, who was treated by repeated ventricular drainage through an Ommaya reservoir for more than two months until the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was possible. The Ommaya reservoir served as a bridge to definitive treatment. The patient required sodium supplements due to excessive salt loss from the repeated ventricular drainage procedures. Regular measurement of serum electrolytes in any infant requiring serial ventricular drainage is recommended.
