Abstract：Objective To investigate the relationship between the cerebrospinal fluid drainage and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Methods Clinical data of 68 aSAH patients were analyzed retrospectively, who received cerebrospinal fluid drainage for hydrocephalus caused by aSAH. The patients were divided into permanent drainage group (n=22) and non-permanent drainage group (n=46) according to existence or absence of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus. The correlation between cerebrospinal fluid drainage and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus was analyzed statistically. Results There were significant differences in preoperative Hunt-Hess grade, modified Fisher grade, intracranial infection and mean time of cerebrospinal fluid drainage between the two groups (P<0.05). The daily average volume of cerebrospinal fluid drainage within 7 days and 14 days were higher in permanent drainage group than in non-permanent drainage group (P<0.001). Conclusions The daily volume of cerebrospinal fluid shunt is an influence factor for shunt-dependent hydrocephalus after aSAH. The patients with higher volume cerebrospinal fluid drainage may be more prone to shunt-dependent hydrocephalus.
