Conclusions
Third ventriculostomy in 30% of the cases
Prevention of late shunt complications have been achieved by
limiting chronic overdrainage
using integral, “striped” distal tubing
Prevention of early shunt complications is largely up to us
Good surgical technique
Clean CSF
Appropriate hydrodynamic characteristics of the valve
