Activation of epiplexus macrophages in hydrocephalus caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage and thrombin.

CONCLUSION: This study supports the concept that epiplexus cell activation is associated with hydrocephalus development. Epiplexus cell activation may be in response to thrombin production after hemorrhage, and it may be a therapeutic target.
