Abstract
OBJECTIVE. This article addresses the management of hydrocephalus and the CSF shunts used to treat this entity. CONCLUSION. CSF shunts have a high failure rate. Imaging plays a pivotal role in assessing CSF shunt failure and determining the need for surgical revision. An in-depth knowledge of CSF shunt components, their failure modes, and the corresponding findings on anatomic imaging studies is necessary to ensure timely diagnosis and prevent permanent neurologic damage.
