A member asked:
I have a vp shunt on my x-ray it showed my shunt tubing has coiled in my stomach what does this meaning and can it cause problems? do they need to fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not problem: Coiling does not equate to kinking or compression. Key issue is ability for shunt to balance pressures intracranially. Have your neurosurgeon provide an opinion on shunt potency and efficacy.
