United Kingdom Shunt Evaluation Laboratory, Academic Neurosurgical Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, England.
Objective: Approximately 10 to 30% of shunt revisions may be attributed to posture-related overdrainage. The susceptibility of various hydrocephalus shunts to overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid requires independent laboratory evaluation.
Methods: Shunts were tested in vitro by using precise computer-controlled equipment that was able to evaluate pressure-flow performance curves under various conditions.

We describe a case of intracranial hypotension syndrome due to overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid presented with hearing loss after ventriculoperitoneal shunting procedure. A 69-year-old man suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage presented with an angiogram showing two aneurysms, one of the right internal carotid and one of the middle cerebral artery. Neck clipping was performed.

Department of Neurosurgery, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel.
Antisiphon device (ASD) tear was found in nine patients who underwent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt revision of a Pudenz three-piece system. In six cases this was the only finding, in three, there was an associated distal malfunction. Repair of ASD tear constituted 27% of our shunt revision procedures.
