Student elective prize for Michael Keogh and Victoria Jones. (360G-Wellcome-082778_Z_07_Z)
Pilot study to evaluate whether proactive adjustment of Ventriculoperitoneal shunt valves can maintain larger ventricles and/or decrease shunt failure in children with hydrocephalus The study aims to assess whether pro-active shunt adjustment by surgeons affects the following: The ability to maintain large ventricles (by measuring mean and median ventricle size from CT/MRI scans) The rates of slit ventricles and/or slit ventricle syndrome The rates of shunt failure by assessing Kaplan-Meier life table analysis It is hoped that this study will be the forerunner of a much bigger prospective trial to develop a protocol for shunt valve adjustment.
