Adult patients with "asymptomatic" and "compensated" hydrocephalus benefit from surgery.
There exists no consensus regarding the appropriate treatment of the group of adult hydrocephalus patients often denoted as "arrested"/ "compensated", "asymptomatic" or "symptomatic congenital". Our case series describes the results of CSF diversion in these patients. ⋯ In addition to patients with "symptomatic congenital" most adult "asymptomatic" and "arrested"/"compensated" hydrocephalus patients can benefit from surgery despite a considerable duration of disease.
