Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections in children
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1987Forty-six episodes of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections developed in 32 patients undergoing cerebrospinal fluid shunt operations during a 13-year period (1972 to 1984). The infection rate was 21%/operative procedure and 33%/patient. The shunt infection rate in revisions of infected shunts was 52%, a rate significantly larger than that in revisions ...

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.

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.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunting for Alzheimer’s disease?
Neurology, 2002AD is characterized pathologically by widespread accumulation of neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of deposits of amyloid-β peptide and abnormally phosphorylated tau protein. In addition, the cholinergic basal forebrain and other subcortical and brainstem nuclei show degenerative changes.

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.

Assessment of cerebrospinal fluid shunt patency
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1983Many invasive and noninvasive techniques for determining patency of CSF shunts have been developed and are reviewed. The need for noninvasive reliable simple tests that improve management is emphasised, and the Doppler ultrasound test is recommended.

The gravitational shunt: An alternative approach to cerebrospinal fluid shunting
Surgical Neurology, 1993Current cerebrospinal fluid shunts use complex differential pressure values to regulate drainage. Such systems are prone to overdrainage and obstruction, and thus have an unpredictable effect on intracranial pressure (ICP). The gravitational shunt (GS) introduces an alternative approach. It uses a single, simple valve to balance the pressures generated

Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunting for Hydrocephalus: A retrospective analysis
Acta Neurochirurgica, 1987A series of 383 extracranial CSF shunts performed between Jan. 1980 and Jan. 1985 for hydrocephalus in children and adults is reviewed. Ventriculoatrial (VA) and ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts were compared with a special attention to infections.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Eosinophilia and Sterile Shunt Malfunction
Neurosurgery, 1988Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) eosinophilia is a rare finding most often associated with central nervous system inflammatory processes, including parasitic, bacterial, and mycotic infections. It has also been seen as an allergic phenomenon. We present two cases of CSF eosinophilia occurring concurrently with sterile shunt malfunction.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts
Neurosurgery, 1994The value of antibiotic prophylaxis for clean neurosurgical procedures without the implantation of a foreign body has been conclusively demonstrated. Attempts to confirm its efficacy for cerebrospinal fluid shunt operations have produced confusing and inconclusive results.
