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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Treatment of Infections of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1987There is no unanimity at present concerning the best method of treatment of cerebrospinal fluid shunt-related infections. The most frequently used method includes removal of the shunt followed by antibiotic therapy and later replacement of the shunt.

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.

The radiology of cerebrospinal fluid shunts and their complications
The British Journal of Radiology, 1973Abstract The three commonly used types of cerebrospinal fluid shunts are ventriculo-cisternal, ventriculo-atrial, and ventriculo-peritoneal shunts. These consist of catheters, valves, flushing devices and reservoirs. The radiographic features of several shunt systems are described.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections.
Journal of neurosurgical sciences, 1994Cerebrospinal 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.
