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.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections.
Journal of neurosurgical sciences, 1995Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infection is one of the most frequent and disabling complications. We reviewed the records of 306 patients who underwent CSF shunt surgery from 1983 through 1992. Six hundred and twelve procedures were performed in these 306 patients.

Infections in cerebrospinal fluid shunts
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1985Bacterial colonization of cerebrospinal fluid shunts is a cause of significant morbidity, causing not only shunt malfunction and chronic ill-health but has also been implicated in an immune-complex glomerulonephritis. Almost all shunt colonizations involve Staphylococcus albus which gains access to the shunt during surgery and grows in microcolonies ...

Artificial Shunting of Cerebrospinal Fluid
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 1994A compact three-stage shunt valve system (Orbis Sigma™ Valve) which operates as a flow regulator within certain differential pressure values has been clinically evaluated in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Clinical trials were performed in 134 cases, covering 128 patients aged from 1 day to 79 years with a mean age at implantation of 11.4 years.

Peritoneal Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Insertion
Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2004A minor modification of the technique of peritoneal cerebrospinal fluid shunt insertion allows more anatomical closure of the abdominal wound and may protect the shunt from contamination by superficial abdominal wound infection.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting has significantly improved the lives of patients with hydrocephalus. It was a major advance in the 1950s when safe implantable materials for the manufacturing of shunt tubing and valves were identified. CSF shunts, however, are not a cure for hydrocephalus.

Quantitation of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Flow
Radiology, 1974A new method for quantitatively measuring flow through CSF diversionary shunts is described. Shunt reservoirs were injected with 0.05 ml 99mTcO4− and the clearance, λ, determined. The distribution volume of every known shunt reservoir was ascertained experimentally. CSF flow, F, was determined using the relationship F=λV.

Scintigraphic study of cerebrospinal fluid shunts
Acta Neurochirurgica, 1989This paper deals with experience gained in the study of patency of different types of shunt. Results of subsequent surgery are considered. Findings of 79 scintigraphic studies with radiotechnetium on 68 patients are presented. The method is simple, quick, easy to reproduce and means only moderate radiation load for the patient. Results obtained suggest

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections in children
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1995We reviewed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections treated in the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne from 1981 to 1991. Forty-one episodes of CSF shunt infection were found after 900 shunt operations, an infection rate of 4.5%. Clinical symptoms were nonspecific in 31.7% of episodes, and in 17.1% of episodes the initial CSF sample was normal on ...
