    Author: Eichler I.
    Journal: Zentralbl Neurochir; 1986; 47(2):161-6. PubMed ID: 3765965.
    Abstract:
    A report is given on some of the various complications occurring after implantation of ventriculo-atrial and ventriculo-peritoneal shunts. It is based on a group of 90 patients in whom a total of 126 shunt operations were performed. In 27.7 per cent of the total number of patients revisions had to be carried out. In the first position of the complications there were infections followed by functional disturbances of the efferent catheters, by disconnections, overdrainage, catheter breakage and valve invagination.
