Objectives: The aim of this study was to prospectively study perioperative variables associated with revision after shunt surgery for adult hydrocephalus. Methods: Two protocols were designed to ...

Hydrocephalus is currently managed using traditional mechanical shunts. A smart patient monitoring and shunting system is needed for both patient follow-up and drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid.

Table 3. Surgical and interventional radiology procedures in the study population. Of the 193 patients, 177 (92%) underwent only one surgical or interventional radiology procedure. Shunt placement was ...

In the current study, three patients with hydrocephalus underwent CT scans both before and after surgery for ventriculoperitoneal shunts.

(B) Brain MRI demonstrating ventriculomegaly and evidence of subcortical ischemic changes. Both patients' idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus symptoms improved following shunt placement.
