Objective. The use of cerebrospinal shunts is the standard of care for hydrocephalus.
However, shunts are extremely vulnerable to failure and lack noninvasive methods to …

This review gives an overview of passive constant flow regulators dedicated to microfluidic
applications. Without external control and energy consumption, these devices deliver a …

OBJECTIVE Hydrocephalus remains one of the more common pathologies managed in
pediatric neurosurgical units. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has an advantage …

Background Elective intraparenchymal intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is useful for
the diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders. This …

Objective The comparison of the efficiency of shunt placement and endoscopic third
ventriculostomy (ETV) in treating of adult hydrocephalus patients with various intensities and …

Long-term monitoring of intracranial pressure is a useful method in the diagnosis of complex
hydrocephalus and CSF disorders. This editorial discusses various criteria for the …

The literature on hydrocephalus treatment shows support for adjustable valves and devices
which prevent the so-called “siphon effect”. In our study, 21 probable iNPH patients were …

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 …

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) refers to a complex brain disorder
characterized by ventricular enlargement and the classic Hakim's triad of gait and balance …

Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) overdrainage is a major problem in shunt therapy for
hydrocephalus. The adjustable gravitational valve proSA allows for the first time a targeted …
