Identification of abnormally elevated CSF outflow resistance also increases the likelihood of a favorable response to shunt placement compared with the clinical and radiographic evaluations ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections are a significant complication associated with the surgical placement of shunts, which are devices used to manage conditions like hydrocephalus.

Antisiphon devices use gravity to assist in regulating shunt pressure which controls the programmable valve and amount of CSF drainage (Verrees & Selman, 2004). Failure to divert CSF from the ...
