Use of External Lumbar Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage and Lumboperitoneal Shunts with Strata NSC Valves in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Single-Center Experience

Abstract

LP shunts showed effectiveness rates that were similar to those of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Despite the relatively high complication rate, LP shunts can be recommended for the treatment of patients with iNPH because of their minimal invasiveness and lack of lethal complications.
