  • Title: Management of Hydrocephalus in Children: Anatomic Imaging Appearances of CSF Shunts and Their Complications.
    Author: Khalatbari H, Parisi MT.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2021 Jan; 216(1):187-199. PubMed ID: 33112667.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE. This article addresses the management of hydrocephalus and the CSF shunts used to treat this entity. CONCLUSION. CSF shunts have a high failure rate. Imaging plays a pivotal role in assessing CSF shunt failure and determining the need for surgical revision. An in-depth knowledge of CSF shunt components, their failure modes, and the corresponding findings on anatomic imaging studies is necessary to ensure timely diagnosis and prevent permanent neurologic damage.
