This study aims to highlight the most influential work on hydrocephalus on bibliometric basis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Methods: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A thorough search of Scopus database was performed using the word \u201chydrocephalus.\u201d The 100 most cited articles were retrieved, and variables of importance were collected including the article\u2019s title, 1<jats:sup>st<\/jats:sup> author affiliation, country of origin, year and journal of publication, article\u2019s category, and citation count according to Scopus and Google scholar databases.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The 100 most cited articles were thoroughly analyzed. Publication dates ranged from 1946 to 2014, with most articles (45) published between 1998 and 2007. The mean number of citations per publication was 201 with total of 20,177 citations. The United States of America contributed half of the articles. The leading institution was the Canadian hospital for Sick Children University of Toronto having published 5 articles. Hydrocephalus in general and normal pressure hydrocephalus was the two major categories addressed with most studies fall under the topic of surgical management. Neurosurgery was the specialty with the greatest contribution (47%). The articles were published in 46 different journals led by the Journal of Neurosurgery with total of 17 articles.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This bibliometric analysis delineates the landmark publications in hydrocephalus.
