Nine children harboring subdural effusions were treated by subduro peritoneal shunt. These patients were followed-up by CT scans. The area of the subdural effusions was measured by quantitative morphology with a planimeter. With the surgical treatment, the subdural effusion disappeared completely or near completely in 8 patients. The patient's functional state were excellent in 4, good in 3 and bad in 2 in the postoperative follow-up. We aldo reviewed the literature as far as the pathophysiology and the treatment of the subdural effusions are concerned.

Twenty nine patients were treated with barbexaclone for 6-41 months. Eighteen of these patients suffered from grand-mal epilepsy and complete control of the crises was achieved in 16 of them. No alterations were noted in the hemogram, liver or renal function tests. Side effects were minimal and didn't necessitate discontinuing the drug. 25% of the patients also showed a psychological improvement on the medication.
