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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
