Chronic overdrainage syndrome: pathophysiological insights based on ICP analysis: a case-based review

Published in Childs Nervous System, 2017

Abstract

Chronic overdrainage affects shunted patients producing a variety of symptoms that may be misdiagnosed. The best known symptoms are so-called shunt-related headaches. There is mounting evidence that changes in cerebrospinal venous system dynamics are a key factor to the pathophysiology of chronic overdrainage syndrome.
