目的
2
儿童复杂性脑积水的诊治策略目前尚不完善,患者常因反复出现并发症而多次进行手术,其疗效较差。本研究旨在建立一种新的手术管理流程,以减少复杂性脑积水患者的手术次数,并改善其长期预后。
方法
2
回顾性分析2018年6月至2025年6月中南大学湘雅医院脑积水诊疗中心收治的儿童复杂性脑积水患者的临床资料。复杂性脑积水指需多次手术治疗的脑积水,出血后脑积水,感染后脑积水,多房性脑积水,早产低体重儿的先天性脑积水,以及中脑导水管狭窄、Dandy-Walker畸形等其他复杂情况脑积水。其中接受阶段性手术管理流程治疗的患者纳入新策略组,接受原有治疗流程治疗的患者纳入旧策略组。比较2组患者手术治疗情况、短期及长期预后。结合典型病例与国内外文献,制订适用于儿童复杂性脑积水的新诊治策略。
结果
2
共纳入137例儿童复杂性脑积水患者,其中新策略组49例,旧策略组88例。2组患者在性别、年龄及复杂性因素方面的差异均无统计学意义(均
P
>
0.05)。新策略组患者共接受74次手术治疗,旧策略组患者共接受283次手术治疗,
新策略组患者接受手术次数明显少于旧策略组(1.51±0.77 vs 3.22±1.40),差异有统计学意义(
t
=7.879,
P
<
0.001)。在新策略组中,49例患者的临床症状均得到缓解,35例患者的影像学检查结果显示脑室系统恢复至正常大小;在旧策略组中,82例患者的临床症状得到缓解,53例患者的影像学检查结果显示脑室系统恢复至正常大小。2组在临床症状缓解和脑室系统大小恢复方面的差异均无统计学意义(均
P
>
0.05)。在长期预后方面,新策略组中45例认知清晰,42例发育良好,41例功能正常,11例出现并发症,10例需要再次手术,生存率为100%;旧策略组中66例认知清晰,59例发育良好,59例功能正常,80例出现并发症并需要再次手术,生存率为92.05%。2组间各项长期预后指标的差异均有统计学意义(均
P
<
0.05)。建立儿童复杂性脑积水诊治新策略——阶段性手术管理流程:在第一阶段消除复杂性因素,第二阶段治疗脑积水。
结论
2
将早产低体重儿的脑积水、由颅内出血和/或颅内感染引起的脑积水、多房性脑积水和需要反复多次手术的脑积水,以及其他特殊情况脑积水定义为儿童复杂性脑积水。对儿童复杂性脑积水,阶段性手术管理流程不仅可减少手术次数,还可改善患者的长期预后。
Objective
2
Current strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of complex hydrocephalus in children remain inadequate. Patients often undergo multiple surgeries due to recurrent complications
resulting in poor therapeutic outcomes. This study aims to establish a novel surgical management protocol to reduce the number of surgeries and improve long-term prognosis in patients with complex hydrocephalus.
Methods
2
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of pediatric patients with complex hydrocephalus admitted to the Diagnosis and Treatment Center for Hydrocephalus of Xiangya Hospital
Central South University
from June 2018 to June 2025. Complex hydrocephalus was defined as hydrocephalus requiring multiple surgical interventions
post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus
post-infectious hydrocephalus
multiloculated hydrocephalus
congenital hydrocephalus in preterm low birth weight infants
aqueductal stenosis
Dandy-Walker malformation
and other complex conditions. Patients treated with the staged surgical management protocol were included in the new-strategy group
while those treated with the conventional management protocol were included in the traditional-strategy group. Surgical treatment characteristics
as well as short-term and long-term outcomes
were compared between the two groups. Based on representative cases and a review of the literature
a new diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for pediatric complex hydrocephalus was developed.
Results
2
A total of 137 pediatric patients with complex hydrocephalus were included
comprising 49 in the new-strategy group and 88 in the traditional-strategy group. There were no statistically significant differences in gender
age
or complexity factors between the two groups (all
P
>
0.05). A total of 74 surgical procedures were performed in the new-strategy group and 283 in the traditional-strategy group. The number of surgeries per patient was significantly lower in the new-strategy group than in the traditional-strategy group (1.51±0.77 vs 3.22±1.40;
t
=7.879
P
<
0.001). In the new-strategy group
clinical symptoms were relieved in 49 patients
and ventricular size returned to normal in 35 patients. In the traditional-strategy group
clinical symptoms improved in 82 patients
and ventricular size normalized in 53 patients. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of symptom relief or ventricular size recovery (all
P
>
0.05). Regarding long-term outcomes
in the new-strategy group
45 patients had clear cognition
42 had good development
41 had normal function
11 developed complications
10 required reoperation
and the survival rate was 100%. In the traditional-strategy group
66 patients had clear cognition
59 had good development
59 had normal function
and 80 developed complications requiring reoperation
with a survival rate of 92.05%. All long-term outcome indicators showed statistically significant differences between the two groups (all
P
<
0.05). A novel strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric complex hydrocephalus
namely
a staged surgical management protocol
was established
consisting of elimination of complexity factors
in the first stage and treatment of hydrocephalus in the second stage.
Conclusion
2
Hydrocephalus in preterm low birth weight infants
hydrocephalus caused by intracranial hemorrhage and/or infection
multiloculated hydrocephalus
hydrocephalus requiring repeated surgeries
and other special forms should be defined as complex hydrocephalus in children. The staged surgical management protocol not only reduces the number of surgeries but also improves long-term prognosis in pediatric patients with complex hydrocephalus.
