Ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Ventriculoperitoneal VP shunts are a device used to shunt cerebrospinal fluid in the treatment of hydrocephalus, As the name suggests, a catheter is placed with its tip in the ventricle, The external portion of the catheter is connected to a valve that regulates the flow of CSF based on a preset pressure, The distal catheter is tunnelled under the skin and into the peritoneal cavity, Several

Radiologic Identification of VP-Shunt valves and adjustment, The verification of shunt adjustment so-called opening pressure and also the primary identification of the implanted valve type can be a Problem in daily practice: Shunt pass is not always at hand and documents from external hospitals can be missing, Usually, a simple lateral skull X–ray helps to identify the type of valve and it

Diagnostic imaging of ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Other complications associated with VP shunts include surgery-related complications, shunt overdrainage and slit-ventricle syndrome, neoplastic metastasis, pleural effusion, and complications related to shunt variants, Imaging analysis is an essential adjunct to the clinical evaluation of patients with suspected VP shunt malfunctions or complications, Radiologists should be familiar with these

Programmable CSF Shunt Valves: Radiographic Identification

SUMMARY: The programmable CSF shunt valve has become an important tool in hydrocephalus treatment, particularly in the NPH population and in pediatric patients with complex hydrocephalus, The purpose of this study is to provide a single reference for the identification of programmable shunt valves and the interpretation of programmable shunt valve settings,

Imaging Evaluation of CSF Shunts : American Journal of

OBJECTIVE, The objective of this article is to describe an approach to imaging CSF shunts, Topics reviewed include the components and imaging appearances of the most common types of shunts and the utility of different imaging modalities for the evaluation of shunt failure, Complications discussed include mechanical failure, infection

X–Ray Shunt Series Usually after a shunt has been inserted, a series of X-rays will be performed to allow the surgeons to assess the continuity of the shunt, These X-rays will be repeated in the future if there is potential that the shunt may have malfunctioned as the X–ray allows us to assess whether the shunt may be broken or fractured,

Diagnostic imaging of ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Most pediatric patients with hydrocephalus are treated with ventriculoperitoneal VP shunt placement, However, shunt malfunction is common and is usually caused by mechanical failure, Shunt obstructions may be confirmed with radioisotope examination or with fluoroscopically guided injection of iodinated contrast material into the shunt reservoir, Disconnections or breaks are more readily
