Complications of Lumboperitoneal Shunts for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
For the past half century, the mainstay of cerebrospinal fluid shunting for normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt has been used occasionally and seemed to be associated with higher failure rates compared to ventriculoperitoneal shunts. There is no uniformity in the reporting of complication and surgical revision rates. Goals ...
متن کاملVentriculoperitoneal shunts to control hydrocephalus in adults
Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder where there is an increased build up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. One of the most prominent ways to treat this condition is the use of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Studies conducted are used to understand what the best treatment will be for certain patients with hydrocephalus. The overall goal of these studies is to determine how tech...
متن کاملComplications of Lumboperitoneal Shunts for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
For the past half century, the mainstay of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has been lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt surgery. LP shunts have been associated with higher failure rates compared to ventriculoperitoneal shunts. However, there is no uniformity in the reporting of complication and surgical revision rates. The goals of this study were to und...
متن کاملUse of programmable versus nonprogrammable shunts in the management of normal pressure hydrocephalus
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt systems that are used in the treatment of normal pressure hydrocephalus are often associated with drainage problems. Adjustable shunt systems can prevent or treat these problems, but they may be expensive. The aim of our study is to compare the complications and total cost of several shunt systems.Patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus who underwent ventriculoper...
متن کاملLumboperitoneal shunts: review of 409 cases.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS A prospective study was carried out to evaluate the lumboperitoneal shunt procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four hundred and nine patients having communicating hydrocephalus were selected for the procedure during a 10-year period from March 1992 to February 2002. The average follow-up was 45.34 months. RESULTS Tubercular meningitis (TBM)-related hydrocephalus was detected ...
