Shunt Over-drainage, Slit Ventricle Syndrome, Programmable Valves and Anti-Siphon Devices. A Narrative Review of a Multifactorial and Intractable Problem

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
The current management strategy of hydrocephalus mainly involves the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and is inherently related with a complication widely known as shunt over-drainage.
