| Abstract |
Hydrocephalus is one of the most common congenital anomalies affecting the central nervous system especially in developing countries for several reasons including prohibition of abortion in many countries. The technological advances in methods of intrauterine diagnosis of congenital malformation made it possible to detect early enlargement of the ventricles and diagnose hydrocephalus as early as 15 weeks of gestational age. Many trials of intrauterine shunting proved unsuccessful, mainly because of complications such as intra- or extracranial shunt migration, obstruction, infection, and malposition. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 November 2013.
All research outputs
#15,284,663
of 22,729,647 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#1,018
of 2,733 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#60,476
of 70,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#8
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,729,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,733 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 70,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
