The view through the ventricle catheter – The new ShuntScope for the therapy of pediatric hydrocephalus
Conclusions Misplacements of shunt catheters are completely avoidable with the presented intra-catheter technique including slit ventricles or even aqueductal stenting. Potential complications can be avoided during revision surgery. The implementation of the ShuntScope is recommended in pediatric neurosurgery.
