Current Management Strategies of Hydrocephalus in the Child With Open Spina Bifida [PDF]

Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation, 2016
Symptomatic hydrocephalus is a common condition associated with myelomeningocele (open spina bifida). Traditionally, hydrocephalus was treated with insertion of a ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt. This has been the standard of treatment since the introduction of the Holter shunt valve for the VP shunt in the late 1950s.
