This is a 10 year retrospective study, reviewing all medical records of children who had their first VP shunt insertion between 1993 and 2003. A total of 94 children had 150 shunt insertions. Sixty seven out of the 94 children had spina bifida, 13 had progressive hydrocephalus due to ...
AIM:Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion remains the most popular method for the treatment of hydrocephalus despite its associated complications. We assessed VP shunt survival in a group of patients who had developed hydrocephalus following cranialsurgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS:A retrospective charts ...
The risk of shunt failure is greatest within the first year of insertion, estimated to be 10% to 20%, depending on the underlying cause of the hydrocephalus. The subsequentfailure rate is about 5% per year after this. Infection is a dreaded complication, especially in patients who are shunt ...

Intracardiac migration is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion. Only 15 cases have been reported, 7 of which were paediatric cases, treated with techniques including interventional radiography, open thoracotomies and direct extraction through the initial shunt incision. The authors...
To evaluate the role of endoscopic cyst fenestration and endoscopic guided VP shunt insertion in multi-loculated hydrocephalus in children.A retrospective analysis was performed on 20 patients with multi-loculated hydrocephalus who underwent endoscopic cyst fenestration (ECF) alone or in combination with...
Purpose : Shunt calcification is a known late sequela of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion and is associated with shunt malfunction. However, in some patients, while shunt functionality is preserved despite calcification of the catheters, they experience nociceptive symptoms. In this paper, ...
VP Shunt reinsertionHydrocephalus is the symptomatic accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain ventricles. Common treatments include direct etiological procedure e.g. a Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, which can potentially lead to complications such as infection, obstruction, ...
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion, a common procedure for hydrocephalus, has a revision rate of approximately 20鈥 30% within the first year, and continues to increase with each consecutive year. In Leeds, the average work-up cost for suspected shunt malfunctions was 765/patient. Additionally,...
