ABSTRACT
Authors experienced the lumboperitoneal shunt in 13 patients. There were 8 communicating hydrocephaluses, 2 benign intracranial hypertensions, 2 cerebrospinal fluid fistulas and 1 postcraniectomy bulging. Lumboperitoneal shunt was thought to be a very simple extracranial procedure which reduce the complications from ventriculoperitoneal shunt such as subdural fluid collection, subdural hematoma, slit ventricle syndrome and conversion from communicating hydrocephalus to non-communicating hydrocephalus. The efficacy of this procedure was documented and literatures were reviewed.
Key Words: Lumboperitoneal shunt; Communicating hydrocephalus; Arachnoiditis; Silastic
