This case report highlights causes of failure of the ventriculo-sagittal sinus (VS) shunt and
precautions to avoid them. We present, a 14-year-old girl, a case of post-hemorrhagic …

OBJECTIVE Ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement is the most common treatment for
hydrocephalus. However, most patients will require multiple shunt revisions over time. In …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Determining an appropriate site for distal catheter
placement for ventricular shunting for some hydrocephalic patients can be difficult. We …

OBJECTIVE Devices draining CSF to the intracranial venous sinus for the treatment of
hydrocephalus have been tested in the past, and while clinically effective, have not shown …

Background: Ventricular shunts are used to drain cerebrospinal fluid into extra-cranial
spaces. Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunts are provided to transfer cerebrospinal fluid from the …

BACKGROUND: Conventional cerebrospinal fluid diversion such as ventriculoperitoneal or
ventriculoatrial shunting for the management of hydrocephalus is one of the commonest …

Objectives To develop a shunt that drains CSF from the ventricles to the sagittal sinus under
normal-physiological conditions. This shunting principle will not lead to any over-drainage …

We present a 3.5-year-old male infant who had been treated at 3 weeks of age with a
ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt for intraventricular haemorrhage with resultant …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is the most
common form of treatment for hydrocephalus. Thoracic complications with VP shunts are …

Background Since the 1950s, hydrocephalus has been be treated with cerebrospinal fluid
