AB  - As  the  complexity  of  hospitalized  children  continues  to  increase,  hospitalists  routinely  encounter  children  with  neurosurgical  issues.  Pediatric  hospitalists  must  be  familiar  with  the  clinical  presentation,  diagnostic  evaluation,  and  management  of  common  pediatric  neurosurgical  problems.  This  chapter  focuses  on  hydrocephalus  and  head  trauma.  While  an  increase  in  intracranial  pressure  (ICP)  is  a  feature  of  both,  increased  ICP  is  primarily  covered  in  the  hydrocephalus  section.  Other  important  neurosurgical  topics  covered  elsewhere  include:  Abusive  Head  Trauma  (Chapter  40),  Central  Nervous  System  Infections  (Chapter  98),  and  Cerebrospinal  Fluid  Shunt  Assessment  and  Puncture  (Chapter  188).
