Optimal VPS pressure valve values could be extremely difficult to settle in order to gain normalisation of the HC and VS in infants. However, after long term follow up (mean of 18 months) and several pressure valve modifications, this normalisation is possible and shows that infants with IVH-H need a higher pressure valve value comparing to infants with OAE-H.
