Reconsidering Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Surgery and Postoperative Shunt Valve Pressure Adjustment: Our Approaches Learned From Past Challenges and Failures [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Treatment for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) continues to develop. Although ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery has a long history and is one of the most established neurosurgeries, in the 1970s, the improvement rate of iNPH triad ...

A Method to Guide Pressure Selection for Programmable Pressure Valves after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Surgery. [PDF]

Asian J Neurosurg
INTRODUCTION: Programmable pressure valves with antisiphon/gravity devices are recommended for ventriculoperitoneal shunts. However, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) overdrainage and underdrainage still frequently occur because of the lack of effective pressure

Neurosurgical CSF Diversion in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Narrative Review

Life, 2021
The prevalence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a complex disorder, is increasing globally in association with obesity. The IIH syndrome occurs as the result of elevated intracranial pressure, which can cause permanent visual impairment and

Parents' experiences of living with a child with hydrocephalus: a cross-sectional interview-based study [PDF]

, 2015
Background Shunts, the main treatment for hydrocephalus, are problematic because they frequently malfunction. Detecting shunt malfunction is challenging because symptoms are similar to those of common childhood illnesses, particularly viral infections ...

Cervical compressive myelopathy caused by malfunction of a programmable cerebrospinal fluid shunt valve

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2018
The primary treatment for hydrocephalus is ventricular shunt placement, and a programmable valve is widely used for ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery to reduce over/under drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Shunt Over-drainage, Slit Ventricle Syndrome, Programmable Valves and Anti-Siphon Devices. A Narrative Review of a Multifactorial and Intractable Problem

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
The current management strategy of hydrocephalus mainly involves the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and is inherently related with a complication widely known as shunt over-drainage.
