Talk:Cerebral shunt

Sources and scope
The article seems to reflect the personal experience of a parent with a child who has hydrocephalus. Hence, it lacks sources and utterly neglects to discuss the use of shuntage in other neurological conditions from meningitis to IIH and back to neurotrauma. Needs work, guys.

Spitz-Holter Shunt
The Spitz-Holter shunt in my case contains non ferrous metal, which can interfere with the imaging during MRI scans of the head. I discovered this today during an MRI scan. Webhat (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Shunt routing - LP Shunts
The section on types of shunt drainage did not include LP shunts, so I added that to the chart.Sdsures (talk) 17:25, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

I also suggest the lumbar-peritoneal shunt article be merged with this one, both since the content overlap as well as the fact that a cerebral shunt procedure is generally conducted along with a lumbar-peritoneal connection.

Merger proposal
I suggest Lumbar-peritoneal shunt be merged here, since the material there overlaps with the material here. Facts707 (talk) 14:29, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Contrast Internal and External shunts
This page is about an internal shunt, whereas ventriculostomy is a type of external shunt. It should be mentioned the two categories and some information contrasting the two types.Dan AGuy (talk) 21:53, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
