Csf Fistulae As A Complication Due To Insufficient Correction Of Altered Csf Dynamics

Abstract

Hydrocephalus is a complex phenomenon and incomplete knowledge about CSF dynamics often complicates our understanding and management of symptoms in children with altered fluid mechanisms. Patients with low-pressure symptoms are sometimes misdiagnosed, and complications occur in children with CSF fistulae that interfere with proper management of the hydrocephalic condition. This chapter will focus on CSF dynamics and alterations of intracranial pressure-volume relationships that lead to symptoms or cause difficulty in management. Potential complications and suggestions for management will be offered.
