CSF and shunt revision

Posted By Lynne on February 19, 1999 at 12:27:25:







My daughter wore a subduroperitoneal shunt from 18mos. to 6 yrs. of age for extraaxial fluid collections.  Her development is normal across the board.  Upon a subdural shunt revision it was noted that her CSF opening pressure was 18mg H2O - she had been under anesthesia for approx. 30 minutes.  Her ventricles are within normal limits and she has never shown symptoms of elevated pressure.  Is 18 high considering the circumstances.  Could it have been due to the anesthesia?
