Journal ArticleDOI

James M. Drake,John R. W. Kestle,Ruth Milner,Giuseppe Cinalli,Frederick A. Boop,Joseph H. Piatt,Stephen J. Haines,Steven J. Schiff,D. Douglas Cochrane,Paul Steinbok,Nancy MacNeil +10 more
TL;DR: Cerebrospinal fluid shunt failure, predominantly from shunt obstruction and infection, remains a persistent problem in pediatric hydrocephalus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggressive surgical management of craniopharyngiomas in children
TL;DR: The cases of 50 patients with craniopharyngioma operated on at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto between January, 1975, and December, 1989, are reviewed and 28 are leading a normal or nearly normal life, although all are receiving endocrine replacement and some have required help to overcome mild deficits in memory or visual acuity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Follow-Up Data from the Shunt Design Trial
John R. W. Kestle,James M. Drake,Ruth Milner,C. Sainte-Rose,Giuseppe Cinalli,Frederick A. Boop,Jr. Joseph H. Piatt,Stephen J. Haines,Steven J. Schiff,D. Douglas Cochrane,Paul Steinbok,N. MacNeil +11 more
TL;DR: Prolonged follow-up to date does not alter the primary conclusions of the trial: there does not appear to be one valve that is clearly the best for the initial treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracranial germ-cell tumors in children
Harold J. Hoffman,Hiroshi Otsubo,E B Hendrick,Robin P. Humphreys,James M. Drake,L. E. Becker,Mark T. Greenberg,D Jenkin +7 more
TL;DR: The authors recommend resection of pineal and suprasellar germ-cell tumors in order to firmly establish an accurate histological diagnosis to guide the extent of adjuvant therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial Bacterial Meningitis
TL;DR: Nosocomial bacterial meningitis is most often related to either complicated head trauma or invasive procedures, such as craniotomy, placement of ventricular catheters, intrathecal infusion of medications, or spinal anesthesia.
