RESUMEN
Objective The objective of this study was to compare the developmental characteristics of children with hydrocephalus with those of healthy children. Material and methods A total of 109 children aged between 2 and 46 months were included in the study, 54 patients diagnosed with hydrocephalus and 55 healthy children were evaluated with demographic data forms and Denver Developmental Screening Test II. Results The mean personalsocial (p<0.001), fine motor-adaptive (p<0.001), language (p<0.001), and gross motor subscale scores were significantly lower in children with hydrocephalus than in the control group. Personalsocial (p=0.002) and gross motor (p=0.029) subscale scores were significantly lower in children with obstructive hydrocephalus than communicating hydrocephalus. There was a significant negative correlation between language scores and ages of the children with hydrocephalus (r=−0.350, p=0.009). It was found that children with obstructive hydrocephalus carry a 6.7 folds higher risk of experiencing problems in terms of personalsocial development compared to those with communicating hydrocephalus (p=0.011). Conclusion We found that patients with hydrocephalus were developmentally retarded compared to the healthy control subjects. Retardation was the most prominent in the obstructive group. Our results showed that neurodevelopmental follow-up should be carried-out regularly in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus, and early intervention should be started in necessary cases. (AU)
