This article addresses the management of hydrocephalus and the CSF shunts used to treat this entity. CSF shunts have a high failure rate. Imaging plays a pivotal role in assessing CSF shunt failure and determining the need for surgical revision. An in-depth knowledge of CSF shunt components, their failure modes, and the corresponding findings on anatomic imaging studies is necessary to ensure timely diagnosis and prevent permanent neurologic damage.
本文介绍脑积水的治疗方法和用于治疗该疾病的脑积水分流管。脑积水分流管的失败率较高。影像学在评估脑积水分流管故障以及确定是否需要手术修复方面起着至关重要的作用。深入了解脑积水分流管的组成部分、它们的故障模式以及解剖影像学研究中的相应表现，对于确保及时诊断和防止永久性神经损伤非常必要。
