Objectives: To detect the clinical and radiologic characteristics of posttraumatic hydrocephalus (PTH), to define its prognostic value, and to assess the effects of shunt surgery.Design: Correlational study on a prospective cohort.Setting: Brain injury rehabilitation center.Participants: One hundred forty patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) referred to an inpatient intensive rehabilitation unit of primary care in a university-based system.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), Disability Rating Scale (DRS), FIM(TM) instrument, and Neurobehavioural Rating Scale (NRS), as well as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance imaging.Results: PTH was found in 45% of patients. Risk factors for PTH were as follows: age (P
