A cerebral shunt is a device permanently implanted inside the head and body to drain excess fluid away from the brain. They are commonly used to treat hydrocephalus, the swelling of the brain due to excess buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If left unchecked, the excess CSF can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP), which can cause intracranial hematoma, cerebral edema, crushed brain tissue or herniation.

Serebral şant
Tıbbi Cihaz
Genel bilgiler
Serebral şantlar hidrosefaliyi tedavi etmede veya şişen beyine bağlı artmış kafa içi basıncı azaltmak için beyin omurilik sıvısı boşaltmak için kullanılır.
Eğer hidrosefali tedavi etmezse artmış kafa içi basıncına beyin kan dolaşımın bozulmasına, enfarkt ve kanamalara ve ölümcül olabilen herniasyona, geri dönüşsüz beyin hasarına ve ölüme sebep olabilir.
Şantlar çok çeşitli olmakla birlikte en sık kullanılanı, bir kranial ventriküle bağlı uc, buna bağlı tek yönlü çalışan bir valf ve ona bağlı olan, genellikle peritona yerleştirilen bir alt uçtan oluşur.
