Study Summary
Shunt failure remains a significant problem in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus. If reliable techniques for the accurate placement of ventricular catheters can be developed, shunt survival may improve. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the ultrasound guided shunt insertion technique in the hands of experienced surgeons. The primary outcome measure is ventricular catheter location determined from post-operative brain images. The study is being conducted by the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN), a network established to conduct multi-institutional clinical trials on pediatric hydrocephalus. Pediatric neurosurgeons at HCRN centers enrolled in this study will perform either ultrasound guided shunt surgery or a conventional shunt surgery. Patients who undergo conventional shunt surgery will serve as a contemporary control group.
