Abstract
A ventriculoperitoneal shunt may be a more satisfactory method of treating hydrocephalus than periodic needle aspiration or external drainage. A shunt that can be used when the ventricular fluid is hemorrhagic or has a high protein content is described. Only two of 12 patients required revision for shunt obstruction in the two months after surgery.Entities:
