The workup of suspected shunt malfunction requires consideration of several factors, including history, physical and neurologic examinations, and appropriate laboratory and radiologic tests. Hydrocephalus is a benign condition, often compatible with normal neurologic function if properly controlled. It is therefore vital that patients with hydrocephalus have their shunts carefully maintained to avoid serious complications due to shunt obstruction and infection. By following the guidelines listed above, most shunt problems can be detected and appropriate consultation arranged.
对疑似分流器故障的检查需要考虑几个因素，包括病史、体格检查和神经系统检查，以及适当的实验室和影像学检查。脑积水是一种良性疾病，如果得到适当控制，通常与正常神经功能相容。因此，脑积水患者必须仔细维护其分流器，以避免因分流器阻塞和感染而导致严重并发症。遵循上述指南，大多数分流器问题都能被检测出来，并安排适当的会诊。
