    Author: Haase J.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1994 Jul; 10(5):340-1. PubMed ID: 7954505.

    The aspects to be considered before removal of a shunt placed earlier for treatment of hydrocephalus are reviewed. The methods proposed so far for determination of whether a shunt is still needed are described. Their low reliability is stressed, as are the risk inherent in shunt removal.
