The increasing numbers and survival of children with shunt-treated hydrocephalus make it mandatory to refine the methods for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt function evaluation. Radionuclide shuntography with 99mTc-DTPA, which has proved to be a safe and effective method, was performed in eight children with suspected CSF-shunt dysfunction. Characteristic shuntography patterns were found for proximal and distal CSF-shunt catheter obstruction as well as for overdrainage and normal CSF-shunt function. Shuntography contributed to the explanation of suspected CSF-shunt dysfunction in all children investigated.
接受分流治疗的脑积水患儿数量不断增加且存活率提高，这使得完善脑脊液（CSF）分流功能评估方法成为必然。对8例疑似CSF分流功能障碍的患儿进行了99mTc - DTPA放射性核素分流造影，该方法已被证明是一种安全有效的方法。发现了近端和远端CSF分流导管梗阻、引流过度及正常CSF分流功能的特征性分流造影模式。分流造影有助于解释所有接受检查患儿的疑似CSF分流功能障碍情况。
