  • Title: Syndrome of overdrainage associated with disconnection of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
    Author: Rosenthal G, Pomeranz S, Spektor S, Yacoub M, Israel ZH.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 1999 Sep; 31(3):124-6. PubMed ID: 10708352.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a child who developed the syndrome of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) overdrainage with slit-like ventricles on CT in the setting of a disconnected distal shunt valve. Upgrading the shunt alleviated his symptoms. It is suggested that the presence of a patent fibrous tract allowed the overdrainage of CSF.
