Lumbo-peritoneal shunt as treatment modality for visual symptoms in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: A single institution experience.

CONCLUSION: LPS is an equally effective and more technically familiar modality for treatment of IIH for neurosurgeons and should be offered to asymptomatic patients with objective visual signs. Shunt extrusion/migration may not always warrant revision due to "mini-shunt" that drains Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) through shunt tract even after extrusion.
