OBJECTIVE: Ventriculo-subgaleal shunt is an established treatment of hydrocephalus following germinal matrix haemorrhage in low birth weight neonates. It is also used in treatment of post-infective hydrocephalus in children. We intend to emphasise the impact of its extended use in multiple clinical conditions to reduce the number of permanent shunt implantation in infants.
METHOD: Retrospective review of clinical cases in a single institution from medical records.
RESULTS: VSG shunts with low-pressure valve system were useful in variety of hydrocephalus in infants (post-haemorrhagic, post-infective, post-myelomeningocele, post-shunt block, post-traumatic, hydrocephalus associated with brain tumours). A significant number of infants especially those with post-haemorrhagic and post-myelomeningocele hydrocephalus could be made free of permanent shunt placement.
CONCLUSIONS: Ventriculo-subgaleal shunt is an effective, less risky temporary solution of hydrocephalus in infants and can be used in a variety of hydrocephalus in children and helps in avoiding shunt dependency in some of them.
