Background: The most frequently observed neurosurgical condition in preterm infants is intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) which often results in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). We report the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in two groups of patients treated with ventricular reservoirs or ventriculosubgaleal shunts (VSGS) at a single institution. Design/Methods: Retrospective review of 47 preterm patients with PHH who were treated with insertion of a ventricular reservoir (n=18) or VSGS (n=29) at our institution over a 14-year period with language and visuomotor developmental quotients (DQs) determined between 3 and 36 months after birth. Results: Mean follow-up time was 24 ± 13 months (range 7–58 months). Patients of b...
