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
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
Selective dorsal rhizotomy: meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials.
John F. McLaughlin,Kristie Bjornson,Nancy Temkin,Paul Steinbok,Virginia Wright,Ann Reiner,Theodore S. Roberts,James M. Drake,Maureen O'Donnell,Peter Rosenbaum,Jason Barber,Anne Ferrel +11 more
TL;DR: SDR+PT is efficacious in reducing spasticity in children with spastic diplegia and has a small positive effect on gross motor function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized clinical trial to compare selective posterior rhizotomy plus physiotherapy with physiotherapy alone in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy
TL;DR: The results indicate that the improvement in motor function after SPR is more than can be explained by the associated intensive physiotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
International survey on the management of Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia
TL;DR: There was a consensus that decompression of the Chiari malformation should be performed in patients with scoliosis when syringomyelia is present, and the majority decompressed the ChiARI malformation in scoliotic patients even in the absence of syringsomyelia.
