Common and Uncommon Causes of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Malfunction Diagnosed on Plain Radiographs
چکیده انگلیسی
Thousands of patients with hydrocephalus are treated successfully with ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are known to have high malfunction rates, most of which are owing to mechanical causes. When shunt malfunction is suspected, shunt series are often performed to evaluate the mechanical causes of malfunction. These initial radiographs have proven critical in guiding subsequent management. This article is designed to review the various causes of shunt malfunction that can be diagnosed with radiographs.
