  • Title: Fifteen-minute consultation: assessment of a child with suspected shunt problems.
    Author: Mangat HS, Patel C, Rodrigues D.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed; 2017 Aug; 102(4):170-174. PubMed ID: 28073808.
    Abstract:
    Cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedures have saved more lives than any other neurosurgical procedure. However, they do have a unique set of complications which a paediatrician in a district general hospital may encounter. Timely recognition and appropriate referral to the neurosurgeon is vital in order to avoid serious consequences and to have a favourable outcome.
