Incidental and Clinical Significance of Slit Ventricles in Fixed Pressure Valves.
Authors
Abstract
Slit ventricle syndrome (SVS) is a recognized delayed complication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in children. It had been linked to the use of low-pressure shunts and considered an argument for the use of programmable valves. In this study, we aim to assess the rate of SVS in children that were shunted using fixed-pressure valves.
