Abstract
Adult hydrocephalus is considered a rare disease in the elderly. Its pathophysiology remains unclear to this day despite the incrimination of several risk factors (arterial hypertension, diabetes, heart rhythm disorders). Axial computed tomography and magnetic resonance are the diagnostic instruments par excellence. Its seemingly simple surgical treatment is based on ventricular bypass. This treatment is often complicated by serious postoperative infections. Hence the need to treat this pathology only in hospitals with a good technical platform. The aim of our work is to prove that the management of hydrocephalus can also be carried out without risk in hospital structures such as the Henry Dunant Hospital of the Cameroon Red Cross in Yaoundé, which implements the infection prevention and control program.
