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.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections in infants
Child's Nervous System, 1995Infection remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality following CSF shunt procedures. In this study 191 shunt procedures carried out from January 1981 to December 1992 in a series of 81 infants (less than 6 months old) were retrospectively analyzed for possible risk factors.

Complications in Ventricular Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunting
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1993The development of effective cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts represents a landmark achievement in neurosurgery. This success, however, has been tempered by a high incidence of serious complications that accompany the diversion of CSF. This article examines the various complications of CSF shunting, including proximal, valve, and distal obstruction ...

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 ...

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

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 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.

A cerebrospinal fluid shunt: a theoretical concept
Child's Nervous System, 1995An innovative shunt design for the treatment of hydrocephalus is discussed. It is based on a two-tube configuration which restores accumulator function to suppress intracranial pressure fluctuations emanating from the brain and resulting from changes in the subject's postural position.

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.

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.
