Acute-recurrent subcutaneous emphysema after ventriculopleural shunt placement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventriculopleural shunts are one of the alternatives to ventriculoperitoneal shunts for draining cerebrospinal fluid. They are used in patients who have failed multiple ventriculoperitoneal shunts because of peritonitis, loculated ascites, or pseudocyst formation, or those who are not optimal candidates for vascular shunts. A case of acute recurrent subcutaneous emphysema around the incision of a ventriculopleural shunt is presented.

Recurrent symptomatic pleural effusion due to a ventriculopleural shunt.
Ventriculopleural shunts are uncommonly used for the treatment of normal pressure hydrocephalus in adults. Pleural effusion has been reported to complicate the course of these ventriculopleural shunts in children. The pleural effusion should typically resemble the cerebrospinal fluid unless frankly infected. There are few good data on the nature of the pleural effusion. We, report a case of rec...
متن کاملUse of acetazolamide to decrease cerebrospinal fluid production in chronically ventilated patients with ventriculopleural shunts.
Acetazolamide (ACTZ), a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, has been shown to decrease cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production in both in vivo and in vitro animal models. We report two children with hydrocephalus who experienced multiple shunt failures, and who had externalised ventriculostomy drains (EVD) prior to ventriculopleural shunt placement. The effects of increasing doses of ACTZ on CSF product...
