Twenty-seven children with hydrocephalus of different etiologies diagnosed by clinical examination, neurosonography and computerized brain tomography were submitted to transfontanellar US-Doppler evaluation for measurement of blood flow velocity and for the calculation of resistance index (RI) in the anterior and middle cerebral arteries and internal carotids. All children were submitted to evaluation before surgery and on the 1st, 30th and 60th postoperative days. We conclude that neurosonography and US-Doppler technique is useful for determination of hydrocephalus, indication and control of cerebrospinal fluid shunts and monitoring of changes in RI, comparing data obtained immediately before and after surgery and during the late postoperative period. The results obtained when comparing the RI values for the various arteries during the different stages of the study also permitted us to conclude that the anterior cerebral arteries are representative of the maximal alterations that occur in cerebral vascular resistance in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus.
