Having a headache and numbness on one side of her body; thinking it was a common illness, Ms. Trinh Thi Thanh Tam (born in 1983 in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) went for a health check and was surprised to discover that she had a rare disease: ventricular arachnoid cyst. Not yet relieved from her worries, she unexpectedly had the good fortune to approach one of the best neurosurgeons in Vietnam and recover after a strange surgery.

What is ventriculoperitoneal drainage? is a question asked by many people interested in the field of surgical research in health sciences. Ventriculoperitoneal drainage is a procedure performed to help reduce increased pressure in the skull caused by the accumulation of large amounts of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles (also known as hydrocephalus).

Intraventricular hemorrhage is considered a secondary phenomenon due to rupture of the brain hemorrhage or brain parenchyma bleeding into the ventricular cavity. This is one of the diseases with high mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment of the disease will help improve the patient's chance of survival.

Potential complications of ventricular drainage surgery are quite common in patients with hydrocephalus. These will significantly affect the patient's health as well as quality of life. Accordingly, understanding the following information will contribute to knowing how to monitor and prevent disease risks for patients after ventricular drainage surgery in the long term.
