The impact of dural venous sinus compromise on the development of hydrocephalus in children and young adults: a retrospective study.

In this cohort, hydrocephalus development was not independently associated with compromise of any dural venous sinus, nor was it associated with the total number of affected dural venous sinuses.

Instead, the presence of brain herniation was the only predictor associated with hydrocephalus.

Patients with younger age and male sex were associated with hydrocephalus on univariate analysis but did not remain independently significant after adjustment.
