Hydrocephalus shunt simulations

Lizzi Hayman
Abstract

Hydrocephalus is a serious medical condition which causes an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to build up within the brain. A common treatment for congenital hydrocephalus is to implant a permanent drainage shunt, removing excess CSF to the stomach where it can be safely cleared. However, this treatment carries the risk of vascular brain tissues such as the Choroid Plexus (CP) being dragged into the shunt during drainage, causing it to block, and also preventing the shunt from being easily replaced. In this talk I present results from our fluid-structure interaction model which simulates the deflection of the CP during the operation of the hydrocephalus shunt. We seek to improve the shunt component by optimising the geometry with respect to CP deflection.
