| Description |
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt procedures are performed to address elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Ophthalmologists are often asked to evaluate for papilledema as a sign of shunt malfunction or failure. However, studies suggest that the presence or absence of papilledema is not a sensitive predictor of shunt dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate the utility of papilledema as a sign of shunt function. |
