Methods: A retrospective analysis of 35 patients admitted to the clinical data. Results: The patients died three cases, plant survival of 2 cases, severe disability in 4 cases, the residual 4 cases, good in 22 cases. Conclusion: We should attach great importance to the occurrence of hydrocephalus after traumatic brain injury, to take timely ventricular drainage, continuous lumbar drainage and ventriculoperitoneal shunt in order to improve the quality of life of patients and reduce mortality. Hydrocephalus is common neurosurgical disorders, often secondary to severe traumatic brain injury, affecting the prognosis of patients after traumatic brain injury one important factor that merits attention in our hospital in January 2001 ~ December 2007 were treated brain cases of brain injury in hydrocephalus, 35 cases are reported as follows: 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information This group of cases, male 21, female 14 cases; age from 14 to 60 years, mean 32 years of age; injuries reasons: 20 cases of traffic accident injury, combat injury in 9 cases, height of fall injury, 6; time of occurrence of hydrocephalus: transcranial within 1 week after traumatic brain injury in patients with hydrocephalus occurred in 5 cases, 1 ~ 2 weeks, 8 cases, 2 weeks to 1 year there were 22 cases of hydrocephalus; Clinical manifestations: 8 cases of postoperative continuous coma, once restored sense of five cases of Also coma, psychiatric symptoms in 4 cases, walking instability in 16 cases, epilepsy, 2 cases; 17 cases of bone decompression after decompressive craniectomy significantly elevated. This group of patients underwent head CT examination showed severe ventricular expansion in 22 cases, moderate expansion of 13 cases. C
