| Abstract:
|
In the present paper, based on retrospective study of 242 patients with implanted cerebrospinal draining shunt due to infantile hydrocephalus, a diagnosis algorithm has been developed. Based on this model is developed a generalized net model (GN model). The implementation of such model in the practice of family physician would aid in the timely diagnosis mitigating unjustified delays and thus reducing the number of consequent complications.
