Patients with a Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Shunt Have Fewer Complications than Do Patients with Other Shunts

Schenker, Pascale. Patients with a Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Shunt Have Fewer Complications than Do Patients with Other Shunts. 2021, University of Zurich, Faculty of Medicine.

Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is a well-established therapy for hydrocephalus. However, complications are frequent. The incidence of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) increases with the aging of the population. We evaluated the functional status of patients and the classification of complications associated with VP shunt procedures in our center.
