Dr. A. Hadi Al Khalili; Iraq: Proposed Ocular Grading System for Pediatric Hydrocephalus; Pediatric Neurosurgery

SUMMARY: Dr. Khalili, describes the system he used in Iraq to quantitate the degree of hydrocephalus in the pediatric population. This simple approach uses the amount of the iris which is covered as a standard to relate to other parameters such as hydrocephalus, or other clinical signs. Further development of the concept needs to occur for it to be adopted. (JIA)
