1 Epilepsy is an important predictor of poor intellectual outcome in the children with hydrocephalus with shunts. Epilepsy was significantly affected by the causes of hydrocephalus, shunt complications, increased ICP caused by hydrocephalus or shunt malfunction, and the presence of a shunt by itself.10 Source: Focal Nonepileptoform Activity, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
