Effect of Fixed Node Maneuver on Migration of Lumboperitoneal Shunt: A pilot study

Background: Shunt migration after Lumboperitoneal [LP] shunt procedures can occur upward into the spinal subarachnoid space and downward into the abdominal cavity. Cranial migrations are less common than downward migration into the abdominal cavity. Defects of the fixation devices in the shunt syste...
