Cerebrospinal Fluid Eosinophilia and Sterile Shunt Malfunction

Neurosurgery, 1988
Abstract 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, 2004
A 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, 1995
An 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 shunt technology.

Clinical neurosurgery, 2001
Journal Article ; Since the invention of the first implantable shunt valve by Nulsen and Spitz (12) almost 50 years ago, there has been a remarkable number of ingenious modifications and new designs of shunt equipment to treat pediatric hydrocephalus. These developments were in response to the immediately evident high shunt failure rate.

Assessment of cerebrospinal fluid shunt patency

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1983
Many 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.
