Abstract

Subdural higroma pediatrik populasyonda sık olarak görülür ancak yönetimi konusunda tam bir fikir birliği yoktur. Bu çalışmada subduroperitoneal şant takılan 4 subdural higromalı hastayı sebepleri, preoperatif semptomları ve postoperatif sonuçları ile birlikte değerlendirildi. Tüm hastalar erkekti. Hastalarda subdural higromaya bağlı gelişen fontanel gerginliği, nöbet geçirme, huzursuzluk gibi başlıca semptomlar düzeldi. Subduroperitoneal şant uygulamasının subdural higromalı pediatrik populasyonun yönetiminde etkili bir metod olduğu görülmektedir.
