Ventriculovesical shunt. Technical note

C G West. J Neurosurg. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

A patient is reported whose hydrocephalus was controlled by diverting the ventricular cerebrospinal fluid directly into the urinary bladder. This drainage route may have a useful place in the management of the adult pressure-sensitive patient whose more conventional shunt requires frequent revision for repeated obstruction.
