Sumario:Objective: to identify studies in the scientific literature related to children with hydrocephalus. Method: integrative literature review, with research in the databases SCIELO, LILACS and MEDLINE, conducted from February to April 2011, using the descriptors nursing, hydrocephalus, child, neurosurgery and nursing care. The sample resulted in 15 articles, which had their results descriptively summarized and discussed. Results: through articles analyzed, it was realized the importance of understanding the hydrocephalus to nursing practice, covering aspects that go beyond the social factors. Considering the prolonged hospitalization and significant number of complications, we see the need for a direction of nursing care to neurosurgical patients. In identifying the nursing problems related to the child with the disease, pressure ulcers, neurogénica bladder, and the use of invasive path ways and pain are the most evident. Conclusion: in the care provided to patients with hydrocephalus, the professional must be supported scientifically to plan effective interventions that meet the real needs of the child.
