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 ...

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 ...

In Vitro Colonisation of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1983A reliable method of colonizing cerebrospinal fluid shunts has been developed in vitro. A simulated cerebrospinal fluid is described in which the test organism (Staphylococcus epidermidis) multiplied. All experiments were conducted in a CO2 enriched atmosphere.

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.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Scanning and Ventricular Shunts
Radiology, 1970The routine lumbar injection of 131I human serum albumin (RISA) may be used instead of the more difficult and potentially dangerous intraventricular, cisternal, or direct shunt injections to determine the patency of ventricular shunts in patients with communicating hydrocephalus.

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 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.

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.

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.
