23 Αυγ 2023 · A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or there is a decreased absorption of the fluid. Cerebral shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus.
To help drain the extra CSF from the brain, a VP shunt is inserted into the head. The shunt takes the fluid out of the brain and moves it into the abdomen, where it is absorbed by the body.
A VP shunt is a soft, flexible tube (about 3mm in diameter) which is inserted into a lateral ventricle. It acts as a drainpipe, to give the CSF a way to flow out of the ventricles. The tube is connected to a valve, which regulates the flow of CSF.
AN IMPLANTED cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system diverts excess CSF from the brain to another part of the body. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common type
3 Φεβ 2020 · In this paper, we review the indications, complications, and pitfalls associated with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts. As most VP shunt problems initially present to the emergency...
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion is an operation to place a catheter into a brain ventricle to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricular system. This fluid will then drain into the peritoneal space (abdominal cavity).
What is a VP shunt? A VP Shunt is a piece of tubing that goes from the ventricles (fluid chambers) in your child’s brain into the peritoneal cavity (this is the area surrounding your child’s stomach). This tubing acts as a drainage system for excess fluid in the brain, this is called cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid drains into the
