  • Title: Shunt malfunctions.
    Author: Lo P, Drake JM.
    Journal: Neurosurg Clin N Am; 2001 Oct; 12(4):695-701, viii. PubMed ID: 11524290.
    Abstract:
    Shunt failure remains a disheartening complication of shunt surgery. The number of adjustable factors in attempting to reduce the rate is small. The clinical presentation and timing of shunt malfunction are well documented. Although the shunt design trials have been negative to date, valves have important effects that have not as yet been translated to improved outcome.
