Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections

2008
This 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

Bacterial Adhesion to Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1987
✓ Bacterial adherence to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts was analyzedin vivoandin vitro. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM's) of catheters removed from pediatric patients with shunts infected byStaphylococcus aureusorKlebsiella pneumoniaerevealed numerous bacterial cells and microcolonies, leukocytes, and erythrocytes attached to the CSF catheters ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts

2018
Placement and revision of ventricular shunts has saved more lives in Western society than any other neurosurgical procedure. Estimates of a total of 75,000 shunt procedures are done yearly in North America. The majority of these cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-diverting shunts originate in the lateral ventricle, drain into the peritoneum and are described as
