Review of the prevention and treatment of hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Hydrocephalus following a ruptured aneurysm portends a poor prognosis. Patients have to face the risk of infection and shunt obstruction after shunt surgery, which may require a second procedure and greatly reduce the quality of life for survivors. It is crucial to minimize the incidence of hydrocephalus and reduce cerebrospinal fluid shunt dependency. This article reviews current interventions before and after hydrocephalus formation after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, focusing on the relationships between treatment options and the incidence of postoperative hydrocephalus, management of cerebrospinal fluid drainage and shunt dependent hydrocephalus, and advocates for the combination of prevention and treatment to develop individualized treatment plans for patients.
