Objective: To analyze the intervention effect of preoperative shunt in brain tumor with hydrocephalus. Methods: 90 patients with brain tumor and hydrocephalus admitted to our hospital in recent 2 years (January 2020 February 2022) were selected. The clinical data were reviewed. 45 patients treated with lumbar puncture and drainage were taken as the control group, and 45 patients treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt were taken as the observation group. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. Results: The intracranial pressure measured 7 and 14 days after operation in the observation group was lower, and the level of cerebrospinal fluid SP100 protein was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); The total effective rate was higher and the complication rate was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); On the 14th day after operation, the GOS score and KPS score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Preoperative shunt is helpful to stabilize intracranial pressure, reduce cerebrospinal fluid SP100 protein, and help patients recover better in patients with brain tumors and hydrocephalus, while ventriculoperitoneal shunt can further improve clinical efficacy, reduce complications, obtain better prognosis, and has definite clinical application value.
