  • Title: How to get rid of the shunt: a comment.
    Author: Epstein FJ.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1994 Jul; 10(5):342-3. PubMed ID: 7954506.
    Abstract:
    The consensus of the speakers was that there is no single test that reliably confirms that a shunt is not functioning. They all agreed that shunt removal was always associated with an element of hazard and that it should not be carried out except in the most exceptional circumstances.
