VP Shunt can help manage hydrocephalus by establishing a route for excess cerebrospinal fluid to drain from the ventricular system into the peritoneal cavity. The treatment may be considered for different forms of hydrocephalus, including those associated with brain tumours, hemorrhage, infection, congenital abnormalities, or impaired CSF absorption. Depending on the patient's circumstances, a programmable valve may be selected to allow adjustment of drainage settings without replacing the device. Regular follow-up is important because shunts can develop complications such as obstruction, infection, over-drainage, or under-drainage, which may require medical or surgical management.
