Evaluation 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...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 کاملNeurogenic stunned myocardium with ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction.
The syndrome of left ventricular dysfunction in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease following central nervous system injury is termed neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM). It has been described most commonly in association with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Nonspecific electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, elevated troponin I levels, and reversible regional-wall motion ab...
متن کاملSecondary Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Shunt Malfunction
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy, Shunt malfunction, Hydrocephalus, Background: The efficacy of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) following cerebrospinal fluid shunting procedures has been disputed and claimed as having a less favorable outcome. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the success of ETV in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus in patients primarily treated by ...
