Abstract:
A classification of dysfunctional shunts is proposed and clarification of the terminology discussed. This is based on experience of successive shunt malfunctions over a 3-year period with the aid of ventricular pressure measurements, imaging and clinical semiology. The classification system is both anatomical and functional.
