Article Synopsis
- * Conducted from 2013 to 2021, the research included 10 patients, all of whom showed symptom improvement and a significant reduction in the size of the trapped ventricle, with no major complications reported during the procedure.
- * The findings suggest that EVSP is a reliable and safer alternative to the traditional ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) for treating TTH, emphasizing its potential to minimize risks associated with shunt failure and infection.

Objective: When the peritoneal cavity cannot serve as the distal shunt terminus, nonperitoneal shunts, typically terminating in the atrium or pleural space, are used. The comparative effectiveness of these two terminus options has not been evaluated. The authors directly compared shunt survival and complication rates for ventriculoatrial (VA) and ventriculopleural (VPl) shunts in a pediatric cohort.

Meningitis in patients with ventriculo-peritoneal shunt (VP shunt) caused by various species of Candida have been widely described in literature. However, reports describing Candida auris as a cause of meningitis is limited. In this case report we describe a case of multidrug resistant Candida auris meningitis secondary to VP shunt infection successfully treated with intrathecal amphotericin B deoxycholate and intravenous liposomal amphotericin B.

Objective: Hemispherotomy is an effective treatment for intractable hemispheric epilepsy; however, hydrocephalus remains a common complication of the procedure. The causes of hydrocephalus following hemispherotomy have not been fully elucidated; therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with the condition.
Methods: The authors investigated the records of all patients aged < 18 years who underwent hemispherotomy at their institution between 2003 and 2020 and were monitored for hydrocephalus for at least 1 year after the procedure.
