Official title
Pilot Study of Improved Diagnosis and Monitoring of Hydrocephalus in Neonates and Infants Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Hydrocephalus affects up to 2 out of every 500 births and results in long-term disability in up to 78% of those affected. The standard treatment of hydrocephalus is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion via placement of an invasive ventricular shunt to relieve elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). The clinical decision for CSF diversion is based on the ventricular size and clinical symptoms which are not robust indicators of brain health in neonatal hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of performing brain contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in neonates and infants with diagnosed and/or suspected hydrocephalus.
