چکیده
|
Most neurosurgeons or physicians are used to pump the shunt valve whenever they want to examine a patient with previous hydrocephalus having a kind of shunt system. if the patient is assessed during a regular follow up without any complaint we may find good emptying and filling or delayed filling. even delayed filling is found at a normal functioning shunt in an asymptomatic patient, this finding does not confirm any abnormal situation.
