The contributions in this volume, presented at the 5^th International Hydrocephalus Workshop in May 2010 in Crete, Greece, give the present state-of-the-art in timely diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus.
The topics covered include advances in management of both pediatric and adult hydrocephalus, identifying shunt responders, clinical experiences in endoscopic third ventriculostomy, clinical trials, pathophysiology, experimental studies, and  the new classification for hydrocephalus.

From the reviews:

“This book presents recent updates and new concepts in the treatment of hydrocephalus from the fifth international workshop in Crete, Greece, May 20-23, 2010. … The audience includes adult and pediatric neurosurgeons and neurologists, family practitioners, biomedical personal, and neuroradiologists. It is good for university and department libraries. … This is a major contribution to the literature on the progress in the management of adult and pediatric hydrocephalus. It is timely and written by well-known authors in the field.” (Ramsis Farid Ghaly, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2012)
