Paper of the month – December 2025📑
We are pleased to present this month’s interesting paper, “Five-year outcomes after surgical treatment of infant postinfectious hydrocephalus in sub-Saharan Africa: results of a randomized trial” authored by:
Edith Mbabazi-Kabachelor, Mallory R Peterson, John Mugamba, Peter Ssenyonga, Justin Onen, Esther Nalule, Joshua Magombe, Venkateswararao Cherukuri, Vishal Monga, Steven J Schiff, Abhaya V Kulkarni, Benjamin C Warf
This research on postinfectious hydrocephalus (PIH) in infants from Uganda addresses a critical public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa. Following a five-year follow-up of 100 infants, the study found that both endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization (ETV/CPC) and ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) provide comparable long-term outcomes in terms of brain growth, development, and quality of life. The strong correlation between brain volume and developmental metrics highlights the need for tailored interventions in this vulnerable group. This research not only enhances our understanding but also informs treatment strategies in resource-limited settings.
Season’s greetings
