VP Shunt Placement is performed to create an alternative pathway for cerebrospinal fluid when the normal circulation or absorption of CSF is disrupted. The surgeon places the proximal catheter inside a cerebral ventricle and tunnels the distal tubing under the skin toward the abdomen. The shunt helps reduce excessive CSF accumulation and may relieve symptoms associated with hydrocephalus, such as headaches, nausea, balance problems, cognitive changes, or visual disturbances. The patient's age, cause of hydrocephalus, ventricular anatomy, and overall health are considered when planning treatment.
