Management of the ventricular shunt in posterior deformities of the skull in craniosynostosis
Abstract
The existence of an occipitoparietal cerebrospinal fluid shunt complicates the attempt to remodel posterior skull deformities in craniosynostosis. A composite method to reposition the shunt hardware is described and discussed.
