Fetal striatal homotransplantation for Huntington's disease: first two case reports.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Numerous studies have identified different predictors for secondary hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), although predictors regarding timing of the shunt operation have never been reported. Predictors for an early shunt, which was defined as a shunt operation performed ≤30 days after...
