“…In general these non-conventional approaches are used when the classical approaches cannot be performed due to patient specific technical/medical limitations. [43,44] Aqueductal stents can be placed for aqueductal stenosis and trapped 4 th ventricle requires shunting of 4 th ventricle to peritoneum, pleura or atrium. Rarely the shunt is connected outside the body in the form of long-tunnelled external ventricular drain to drain proteinaceous CSF secondary to inoperable brain tumours.…”

<p>As hydrocephalus is a complex neurological condition with significant clinical implications, we believe that this review article is timely to provide a comprehensive overview of shunts used in neurosurgery. This article delves into the etiology, clinical presentation, and challenges associated with hydrocephalus, while focusing primarily on the surgical placement of shunt systems as a key management strategy. We believe that this review will offer valuable insights to clinicians and researchers involved in the management of hydrocephalus. It will provide an in-depth understanding of different shunt systems, their specific characteristics, and associated advantages and limitations, thus empowering clinicians to make informed decisions tailored to individual patients.</p>

“…Ventriculoureteral, Ventriculovesical, Ventriculosternal, Ventriculodiploic, Ventriculohumeral, Ventriculoiliac, Ventriculomastoid, Vertebral and Ventriculo-gallbladder shunt are examples of some non-conventional shunts used for the clinical management of hydrocephalus [41,42]. In general, these non-conventional approaches are used when the classical approaches cannot be performed due to patient specific technical/medical limitations [43,44].

Hydrocephalus is a complex neurological condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles of the brain, leading to increased intracranial pressure. The clinical management of hydrocephalus often involves the surgical placement of a shunt system to divert CSF and restore normal fluid dynamics. This article provides a comprehensive overview of hydrocephalus, its etiology, clinical presentation, and various types of shunts used in its management. The outline of this report encompasses the principles of shunt surgery, indications for shunt placement and primary types of shunts used in the clinical management of hydrocephalus, including ventriculoperitoneal (VP), ventriculoatrial (VA), ventriculopleural (VPL), lumboperitoneal (LP) and ventriculo-subgaleal (VS) shunts. Additionally, some non-conventional shunts such as ventriculo-osseous, ventriculo renal, ventriculo gall bladder, intraventricular (Aqueductal stents) and long-tunnelled external ventricular drains are also discussed. The distinct features of each shunt type, its associated advantages, limitations and complications are also outlined together with a comparison between pressure vs flow regulated valves. An understanding of the different shunt types and their specific characteristics is essential for clinicians to make informed decisions in tailoring treatment to individual patients. This review offers a comprehensive understanding of shunt characteristics which we believe will empower clinicians to make informed decisions tailored to individual patients, ensuring effective CSF diversion and long-term management of hydrocephalus.
