Özet
Cerebrospinal fluid shunts play a major role in the management of hydrocephalus. Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infection is one of the leading causes of cerebrospinal infection in childhood and if not adequately managed, may result in increased mortality and morbidity. Despite the fact that the modern valve controlled shunt has been used for nearly four decades, many questions remain about the prevention and management of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections. In this review, the risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of shunt infections were discussed.
