Shunt overdrainage syndrome: review of the literature

Authors: Bienvenido Ros, Sara Iglesias, Álvaro Martín, Antonio Carrasco, Guillermo Ibáñez, Miguel A. Arráez

Published in: Neurosurgical Review | Issue 4/2018

Abstract

Shunt overdrainage in patients with hydrocephalus still represents a challenge for neurosurgeons, in part due to the lack of agreement or uniformity concerning the entity. Important problems exist relating to the real incidence of the entity, its definition, classification, and the pathophysiological theories behind the various treatment strategies proposed. Recent reports have suggested that the evidence about overdrainage and its consequences is not so robust as presumed. Consequently, the topic requires more detailed examination. In this review, we comment on all the main facets related with shunt overdrainage.
