Outcome of ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement in Grade IV tubercular meningitis with hydrocephalus: a retrospective analysis in 95 patients
Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 08/13/09
Srikantha U et al. – Direct VP shunt placement is an effective option in patients with Grade IV TBM with hydrocephalus. Age and duration of altered sensorium are predictive of short–term outcome, while Glasgow Coma Scale score at presentation predicts long–term outcome. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts should be considered even in patients who do not improve with an EVD.
