Surgical Outcomes Comparison of Spontaneous Middle Cranial Fossa Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks: Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leaks of lateral skull base have little consensus on optimal management. We synthesized and evaluated current literature via systematic and meta‐analysis to compare the success rates and complications of the different surgical techniques for middle cranial fossa (MCF) sCSF leak repair.

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 ...

Directional flow in perivascular networks: Mixed finite elements for reduced-dimensional models on graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the perivascular spaces of the brain is believed to play a crucial role in eliminating toxic waste proteins. While the driving forces of this flow have been enigmatic, experiments have shown that arterial wall motion is central.

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

Three and Four Courses of Radiation for Children with Recurrent Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Re‐irradiation (RT2) for children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is increasingly used upon recurrence; however, limited data are available for evaluating additional courses of radiotherapy (RT) for DIPG. The purpose of this case series was to report our institutional experience in treating patients with recurrent DIPG ...

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 ...

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 ...

Obstruction caused by suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst expansion after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with hydrocephalus

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
This article focuses on four cases of hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in our center from 2016 to 2021. Imaging follow‐up showed that the secondary suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst was enlarged and then formed obstructive hydrocephalus. The clinical symptoms were relieved after a suprasellar cisterna cyst stomy.
