Evaluation of ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction regarding ventricular catheter placement
AbstractBackgroundline of treatment for management of hydrocephalus despite available new techniques andsystems of shunting. Associated complications should be recognized and managed properly,but the most recognized complications are shunt obstruction which its prevalencethrough surgical approach is discussed here. Two approaches (frontal and parietal) are usedto insert ventriculoperitoneal shu...

متن کاملEvaluation of ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction regarding ventricular catheter placement
Background: Shunting procedures specifically ventriculoperitoneal shunts are the main line of treatment for management of hydrocephalus despite available new techniques and systems of shunting. Associated complications should be recognized and managed properly,but the most recognized complications are shunt obstruction which its prevalence through surgical approach is discussed here. Two approa...
متن کاملEvaluation of shunt malfunction using shunt site reservoir.
OBJECTIVE To determine the usefulness of a separate reservoir placed at the site of the shunt in evaluation of shunt malfunction. METHODS AND MATERIALS A ventricular catheter was placed alongside the proximal catheter of the shunt and connected to a subgaleal reservoir in 17 patients, in 9 a double-lumen catheter with integrated reservoir and in 13 patients a dual catheter with a double-port ...
متن کاملMetrizamide Shuntography for Evaluation of Shunt Malfunction
Ventricular shunts were 'evaluted by a shuntographic technique using metrizamide for the contrast material and delayed spot films and computed tomography (CT) to evaluate shunt function. Thirty hydrocephalic patients were studied who had clinical presentations of shunt malfunction, Fifty-two shuntograms were obtained; most demonstrated the cause of shunt malfunction. No contrast-related complic...
