Abstract: Abstract. A simple, safe radionuclide technique for evaluating the functional status of a cerebrospinal fluid shunt has been used in the clinical management of hydrocephalus in 306 patients over a seven-year period. Results of 526 studies showed greater than 99% sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing distal shunt obstruction and 96% correct correlation with clinical outcome overall. Intrareservoir pressure measurements are especially valuable to diagnose proximal catheter shunt malfunction and to assess shunt dependency. Pediatrics 66:679-684, 1980; CSF shunt, hydrocephalus, intracranial pressure, radionuclide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
