Antisiphon device: A review of existing mechanisms and clinical applications to prevent overdrainage in shunted hydrocephalic patients
Overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid is one of the most notorious complications after ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation. Siphon effect plays a major role in the development of overdrainage. Various overdrainage-preventing devices have been invented to counteract the siphon effect. Though some o...
