Shunt assistant device deception due to pseudovertical posturing

Year: 2015

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: The ever present need to balance over drainage with under drainage in hydrocephalus has required innovations including adjustable valves with antigravity devices. These are activated in the vertical position to prevent siphoning. We describe a group of patients who presented with unexplained under drainage caused by activation of antigravity shunt components produced by peculiar head/body position.
