Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North AmericaCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections are a particularly challenging clinical problem. This review article addresses epidemiology and microbiology of CSF shunt infections. Clinical care is reviewed in detail, including recent guidelines and systematic review articles.

Complications of cerebrospinal fluid shunts
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1983In the period 1972–81, 572 hydrocephalic children were treated using the Upadhyaya shunt valve, One hundred and seventys-even of these patients needed a total of 350 shunt revisions. Indications for revisions were; shunt blockage 245 (70% of total revisions) shunt infections 40 (11.5%) catheter disconnections/fractures 19 (5.5%) and intvacranial ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Infection
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1992There are distinct clinical situations in which the various methods of treatment are generally used: 1. Medical therapy may be used in the circumstance of an infected, but functioning shunt. However, once a shunt is shown to be malfunctioning, it must be treated surgically to correct both the malfunction and the infection. 2.

Classically, IIH patients with visual loss or severe symptoms have undergone cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgeries to reduce intracranial pressure. Shunts are helpful in reducing intracranial pressure and alleviating symptoms but are prone to failure. In this chapter, we take an in-depth look at the different types of shunts and shunt technologies that ...

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections
2008This chapter explores cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections. CSF shunts are critical for many patients surviving congenital central nervous system (CNS) anomalies, infection, or intracranial hemorrhage. Infection is a common complication of these devices and a leading cause of morbidity and hospitalization. Clinical studies performed over the past

Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Infections in Children
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2005Infections of cerebrospinal fluid shunts continue to be a substantial source of mortality and morbidity in children with hydrocephalus. Although several therapeutic modalities are currently used for the treatment of shunt infections, there are no clear guidelines for treatment.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Infections
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1989All shunt procedures performed at our institution from July 1982 to December 1987 were analyzed for factors possibly related to shunt infection. There were 41 infections detected in 31 patients for an overall rate of 6.9%. Only intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) as an etiology of the hydrocephalus and internalization of an external ventricular drain ...

Hydrocephalus is a congenital or acquired condition in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates in the ventricles and the subarachnoid space around the brain (Fig. 1). It can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure. It has existed since primitive man roamed the earth.
