Alteration of the pressure setting of a Codman-Hakim programmable valve by a television.
A 7-year-old girl presented in semicomatose condition. She had received a ventriculoperitoneal shunt using a Codman-Hakim programmable valve. Head computed tomography demonstrated hydrocephalus and head radiography showed that the pressure setting of the shunt valve had changed to 60 mmH(2)O from 40 mmH(2)O. The pressure setting was returned to 40 mmH(2)O, and she was discharged because her cli...
متن کاملEfficacy of Lumboperitoneal Shunting in Patients with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt procedures in the treatment of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). MATERIAL AND METHODS A medical record review was conducted to obtain demographic, clinical, laboratory data, as well as pre-, intra, -postoperative details of 65 patients who underwent LP shunt surgery for NPH between January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2014 in the Ne...
متن کاملIs it possible to optimize treatment of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus by implanting an adjustable Medos Hakim valve in combination with a Miethke shunt assistant?
A better course of the disease after implantation of a low-pressure valve in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus normally comes at the cost of a distinctly higher rate of overdrainage. Can combining an adjustable valve with a gravity unit produce optimization of treatment results? In a prospective observation of the course of the disease, 18 patients with idiopathic normal pr...
متن کاملDisruption of silicone valve housing in a Codman Hakim Precision valve with integrated Siphonguard.
Authors of this report describe 2 patients who had undergone shunt insertion for hydrocephalus and who, at 6 weeks or 9 months after their last revision, presented with symptoms of shunt dysfunction and CSF collections at the valve site. At the ensuing shunt revision in both patients, the silicone housing was fractured and the Siphonguard was disconnected from the Codman Hakim Precision flat-bo...
