Lumboperitoneal Shunts for the Treatment of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Comparison of Small-Lumen Abdominal Catheters to Gravitational Add-On Valves in a Single Center

BACKGROUND: Treating idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) with lumboperitoneal shunts (LPSs) may cause cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) overdrainage. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether LPSs, including gravitational “add-on” and programmable pressure valves (PPVs/+GVs), reduce complications and im...
