Radionuclide assessment of shunt function and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics was carried out at intervals over this period, using a method that allowed injection of the radionuclide into the ventricular system independent of the shunt apparatus. The radionuclide scanning results were correlated with computerized tomography and clinical findings. Of 24 patients still available for analysis at the end of 5 years, four patients showed restoration of CSF circulation independent of the shunt apparatus and, in three of these, the shunt has either been clipped or clipped and removed without any ill effects. Clinical details of these three patients are provided. Two initially had communicating hydrocephalus, and one had probable aqueduct stenosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1984.61.4.0752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,8]],"date-time":"2009-05-08T16:19:59Z","timestamp":1241799599000},"page":"752-756","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["The arrest of treated hydrocephalus in children"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Ian H.","family":"Johnston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Howman-Giles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ian R.","family":"Whittle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Intracranial Pressure IV.","first-page":"492","article-title":"Intracranial pressure changes in \u201carrested\u201d hydrocephalus","author":"Blesser","year":"1980"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Arch Neurol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"607","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1981.00510100035004","article-title":"The intelligence of hydrocephalic children.","volume":"38","author":"Dennis","year":"1981"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1064","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1963.20.12.1064","article-title":"Five-year comparative study of hydrocephalus in children with and without operation (113 cases).","volume":"20","author":"Foltz","year":"1963"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"262","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1982.57.2.0262","article-title":"Evaluation of CSF shunt patency by means of technetium-99m DTPA.","volume":"57","author":"Graham","year":"1982"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Dev Med Child Neurol","first-page":"583","article-title":"The sequelae of spontaneously arrested infantile hydrocephalus.","volume":"4","author":"Hagberg","year":"1962"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"Dev Med Child Neurol","first-page":"69","article-title":"Once a shunt, always a shunt?","volume":"18","author":"Hemmer","year":"1976"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"698","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1973.39.6.0698","article-title":"Shunt-independent arrest of hydrocephalus.","volume":"39","author":"Holtzer","year":"1973"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"Acta Neurochir","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01406724","article-title":"Demonstration of transventricular CSF absorption by computerized tomography.","volume":"39","author":"Hopkins","year":"1977"},{"key":"b9","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"604","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1984.61.3.0604","article-title":"A radionuclide method of evaluating shunt function and CSF circulation in hydrocephalus.
