Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt placement is the most common procedure
performed by pediatric neurosurgeons, shunts remain among the most failure-prone life …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion is among the most commonneurosurgical procedures
that are performed worldwide. It is estimated thatapproximately 30,000 ventriculostomies are …

OBJECTIVE The peritoneal cavity is widely used as the destination of choice for
cerebrospinal fluid shunts. Various alternative sites have been used, particularly in the …

OBJECTIVE The authors sought to determine the outcome of using the pleural space as the
terminus for ventricular CSF-diverting shunts in a pediatric population. METHODS All …

OBJECTIVE When the peritoneal cavity cannot serve as the distal shunt terminus,
nonperitoneal shunts, typically terminating in the atrium or pleural space, are used. The …

This study aims to review the imaging findings of distal (thoracic and abdominal)
complications related to ventriculo-peritoneal (VP), ventriculo-pleural (VPL), and ventriculo …

Hydrocephalus represents the pathological elevation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels as a
consequence of various embryological or acquired defects. Although the classic method of …

The neuroprotective effect of Edaravone in young hydrocephalic rats associated with a CSF
derivation system was evaluated. The drug has already been shown to be beneficial in …

A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt is an internalized system used for the treatment of
hydrocephalus and connects the ventricular system to the peritoneal space, right atrium, or …

The accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in brain ventricles and subarachnoid space is
known as hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a result of disturbances in the secretion or …
