Complications of cerebrospinal fluid shunts [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1983 In the period 1972–81, 572 hydrocephalic children were treated using the Upadhyaya shunt valve, One hundred and seventys-even of these patients needed a total of 350 shunt revisions. Indications for revisions were; shunt blockage 245 (70% of total revisions) shunt infections 40 (11.5%) catheter disconnections/fractures 19 (5.5%) and intvacranial ...

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1994
The evaluation of hydrocephalic shunts is a common problem seen in emergency departments. The emergency medicine practitioner must be aware of the various types of apparatus, the functional considerations of the shunt, and the potential complications of obstruction. Shunt malfunction, either from obstruction or infection, can be life-threatening, and a

Epidemiology of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunting
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1995The epidemiology of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in the United States is not well known; however, with recent national surveys, the prevalence, incidence, and cost of these procedures can be estimated. The prevalence of CSF shunts in the United States appears to be greater than 125,000, though this is likely an underestimate of the true value ...

Infections in cerebrospinal fluid shunts [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1985 Bacterial 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 ...

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 ...

Cerebrospinal fluid shunting for Alzheimer’s disease? [PDF]
Neurology, 2002 AD 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.

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

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.

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 Shunt Infections in Children
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2005Infections of cerebrospinal fluid shunts continue to be a substantial source of mortality and morbidity in children with hydrocephalus. Although several therapeutic modalities are currently used for the treatment of shunt infections, there are no clear guidelines for treatment.
