MRI as a one-stop destination for evaluation of CSF shunt malfunction

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2023
Background Despite the high-frequency rate of cerebrospinal fluid shunt malfunction, radiological evaluation of CSF shunts has remained deficient, focusing mainly on demonstrating secondary signs of shunt failure rather than evaluating the shunt tube ...

Challenges in cerebrospinal fluid shunting in patients with glioblastoma [PDF]

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2018
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation disturbances may occur during the course of disease in patients with glioblastoma. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting has generally been recommended to improve symptoms in glioblastoma patients. Shunt implantation for patients with glioblastoma, however, presents as a complex situation and produces different problems to

Biofilm-related infections of cerebrospinal fluid shunts [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts carry a high risk of complications. Infections represent a major cause of shunt failure. Diagnosis and therapy of such infections are complicated by the formation of bacterial biofilms attached to shunt surfaces. This study correlated the pathophysiology and clinical course of biofilm infections with microscopical ...

Pleural cerebrospinal fluid shunting causing trapped lung: A respiratory physician's approach to management and prevention

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting into the pleural space can cause complications such as long-standing pleural effusions and trapped lung. These complications can be difficult to manage due to the propensity of effusions to recur, and the irreversible ...

Distal subgaleal-peritoneal shunt migration into the abdominal wall with subsequent formation of a pre-peritoneal pseudocyst: a rare complication. [PDF]

, 2010
Distal ventriculo-peritoneal shunt migration and extra-peritoneal CSF pseudocyst formation are unusual complications of shunt placement. We present a 65-year-old-female who received a subgaleal-peritoneal shunt to decompress a post-surgical subgaleal ...

A retrospective study of central nervous system shunt infections diagnosed in a university hospital during a 4-year period

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006
Background Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are used for intracranial pressure management and temporary cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. Infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CSF ...
