الوصف: Pediatric patients treated for hydrocephalus, regardless of etiology, require continuous access to care to address the long-term sequelae from the disease progression itself and from the interventions undertaken. The challenge for all pediatric neurosurgeons is providing comprehensive and coordinated care for these patients in order to achieve a smooth and seamless transition into adult health care.A review of the literature was conducted regarding the overall concept of pediatric patients with chronic conditions transitioning to adult care. We also specifically reviewed the pediatric hydrocephalus literature to investigate the barriers of transition, models of success, and specific elements required in a transition policy.The review identified several barriers that hamper smooth and successful transition from pediatric to adult care within the hydrocephalus population. These included patient-related, cultural/society-related, healthcare provider-related, and healthcare system-related barriers. Six elements for successful transitions were noted: transition policy, tracking and monitoring, transition readiness, transition planning, transfer of care, and transition completion stemming from the Got Transition center.A successful patient transition from pediatric neurosurgical care to adult neurosurgical care is very center-specific and depends on the available resources within that center's hospital, health system, and geo-economic environment. Six recommendations are made for transition policy implementation in resource-poor environments, including beginning the process early, preferably at age 14 years.
