The commonest indication was tubercular meningitis followed by idiopathic intracranial hypertension and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Age ranged from 16 to 72 years. There were 255 male and 171 female patients. The mean follow-up was 41 \u00b1 8 months. Overall, 301 patients (70.6%) had neurological improvement. Shunt-related complications occurred in 112 (26.29%) patients, of which shunt block was the commonest. Other complications were infection in 17 (3.9%) patients and extrusion in four (0.9%) patients. Transient postural headache was seen in 46 (10.7%) patients, which gradually improved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lumboperitoneal shunt was found to be a safe and effective treatment in appropriately selected communicating hydrocephalus patients.
