Author(s): Michael C Dewan, Abbas Rattani, Rania Mekary, Laurence J Glancz, Ismaeel Yunusa, Ronnie E Baticulon, Graham Fieggen, John C Wellons, Kee B Park, Benjamin C Warf

Year: 2018

Etiology: Congenital Hydrocephalus

More Study Information: The authors performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to estimate the incidence of congenital hydrocephalus by WHO region and World Bank income level using the MEDLINE/PubMed and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases. A global estimate of pediatric hydrocephalus was obtained by adding acquired forms of childhood hydrocephalus to the baseline congenital figures using neural tube defect (NTD) registry data and known proportions of posthemorrhagic and postinfectious cases.
