摘要
OBJECTIVE: To present the text on hydrocephalus from Haly Abbas%26apos;s book Kitab al-Maliki/Liber Regius (The Royal Book), which was accepted as a classical textbook in the Eastern and Western worlds for a long time. %26lt;br%26gt;METHODS: The Arabic (Suleymaniye Manuscript Library, Murad Molla Collection, Nr: 1482 and Bulak, 1294/1877) and the Latin (Venice, 1492) versions of the related chapter was translated and compared to create an English text. Additionally, relevant literature was reviewed in detail. %26lt;br%26gt;RESULTS: The text on hydrocephalus in Haly Abbas%26apos;s The Royal Book virtually resembles Paul of Aegina%26apos;s work. For hydrocephalic cases where the fluid collects between skin and pericranium, and pericranium and bone, Haly Abbas had made little change in surgical intervention; for the third type, skin incision, he preferred a T-type incision instead of an H-type. Like Paul of Aegina, Haly Abbas also did not advise any surgical intervention for the cases of hydrocephalus, where fluid accumulation is between bone and the dura mater. %26lt;br%26gt;CONCLUSIONS: Haly Abbas%26apos;s approach to hydrocephalus was as brave as that of his predecessors Antyllus, Oribasius, and Paulus, although the cases they dealt with were almost all cephalic hematomas. Although his chapter on the treatment of water accumulation in the head contains surgical interventions in extracranial hydrocephalic conditions, his account on hydrocephalus is extremely precise and gives adequate detail as in other chapters in his book.
