Hydro = hydrocephalus; Tx = treatment; — = between-group comparison not performed as follow-up measures were not available for the control group at 5 months. The hydrocephalus group combines patients with CH and patients with PHH. dMRI studies were obtained prior to hydrocephalus treatment (Pre-Tx) and at median follow-up times of 5 and 14 months.
