A member asked:
I am having icp monitoring done because my neurosurgeon thinks my shunt might no longer be working what does this involve?

Testing shunt: I believe that the testing will involve infusion of solution into a catheter inserted in your spinal canal and determining pressure within the ventricles of your brain. Your neurosurgeon can better explain how the testing is done.
