    Summary

    In children with hydrocephalus, CSF-drainage systems were successfully removed in 40 cases over 15 years. Continuous monitoring is crucial to ensure sustained compensation and prevent decompensation, which can be fatal.

    • Neurology
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles.
    • Communicating hydrocephalus and hydrocephalus associated with myelomeningocele are common pediatric forms requiring intervention.
    • CSF-drainage systems (shunts) are primary treatments, but their long-term necessity requires evaluation.
