involved in a car accident 50 days prior to his admission. A brain MRI revealed significant hydrocephalus. His score on
the Korean version of the Mini Mental State Examination was 14/30, and a neuropsychological assessment revealed
severe impairments in all domains. A lumboperitoneal shunt operation was performed. His global cognitive functions
and daily activities were fully recovered after the procedure. Key Words: Posttraumatic hydrocephalus, Lumboperitoneal shunt
