Subarachnoid haemorrhage-related hydrocephalus – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/938422781

This type of hydrocephalus can be acute or chronic. Acute hydrocephalus is associated with poor prognosis and an EVD is necessary. Chronic hydrocephalus is seen in 1/4 of the patients and most of them will need a VP shunt.
