Mechanisms and Major Sites of Distal Catheter Migration in Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting Maneuvers: A Review Article

Brain Science Advances, 2018
A ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a medical device used to deflect cerebrospinal fluid from cerebral ventricles to the peritoneal cavity. Since 1908, ventriculoperitoneal shunts have been considered the best option in hydrocephalus management ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunting for Hydrocephalus in the Adult: Factors Related to Shunt Revision

, 1991
Cerebrospinal fluid shunting procedures are widely employed in the treatment of hydrocephalus and other disturbances of the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid. In spite of its popularity, this operation frequently requires surgical revision. A retrospective

Ventriculovesical Shunting in a Patient with Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis: An Alternative to VP Shunts. A Technique Report

Brazilian Neurosurgery
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) is a rare but serious complication when cancer cells infiltrate the meninges. It is most commonly associated with breast cancer, but only 5% of breast cancer patients develop it.

Multi-objective design optimization of two configurations of ventricular shunts for hydrocephalus

, 2023
Hydrocephalus is developed when the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is obstructed in the ventricles and a pressure build-up is generated within the brain.
