A New Clinical Protocol for a Timely Diagnosis and Treatment of Hydrocephalus in Patients with Severe Acquired Brain Injury.

We expect that this clinical diagnostic protocol will result in a more appropriate assessment and timely treatment of secondary hydrocephalus in patients with sABIs, with the ultimate goal of improving their prognosis. In addition, it could be adopted by other rehabilitation centers to improve hydrocephalus diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing the length of hospital stay and accelerating recovery with benefits for both patients and hospitals.
