“…26 The first hypothesis of Farfan et al 9 was that there is a relationship between FT and the development of LDH, but no final conclusion was made after clinical tests. 4,5,12 Trauma is the main cause of LDH in adolescents, 2,22,25 which is different from that in adults. 28 A recent finite element research study confirmed that FT could make the corresponding segment more vulnerable to external movements or anterior shear force.…”

OBJECTIVE The role of facet tropism (FT) in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is ambiguous. The present study aimed to investigate the association between FT and LDH in adolescents. METHODS This study included 65 adolescents with LDH with 1- or 2-level LDH, or both. Facet angles were measured with MRI. FT was defined as asymmetry of 10° between the left and right side. The same levels of 30 healthy persons who had no lumbar lesions were used as controls. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. RESULTS FT was identified in 16 of 39 patients with LDH in L4–5 and in 3 of 30 controls (p = 0.006, OR 6.261, 95% CI 1.619–24.217). It was also identified in 12 of 27 patients with LDH in L5–S1 and in 4 of 30 controls (p = 0.017, OR 5.200, 95% CI 1.420–19.039). One patient had LDH in both L4–5 and L5–S1. CONCLUSIONS FT is associated with LDH in both L4–5 and L5–S1 levels in adolescents.

Management of patients who have ventriculoperitoneal shunt presenting with acute calcular cholecystitis has remained a clinical challenge. In this paper, the hospital course and the follow-up of a patient presenting with acute calcular cholecystitis and ventriculoperitoneal shunt managed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy are presented followed by literature review on the management of acute calcular cholecystitis in patients who have ventriculoperitoneal shunts.

Evaluation of the ventriculocholecystic shunt—an overview of present practice in adult and pediatric hydrocephalus

In the context of hydrocephalus, there are a multitude of therapeutic options that can be explored in order to improve patient outcomes. Although the peritoneum is the current elected clinical solution, various receptacles have been utilized when experiencing contraindications. Along with the ventriculoatrial or ventriculopleural, the ventriculocholecystic shunt was also described as an alternative. In order to make a decision on a place for drainage, the surgeon must be knowledgeable on details from modern literature. The main target of this review was to summarize the currently available information on this topic and assess the status of the gallbladder as a viable option for cerebrospinal fluid diversion.
