Risk factors, treatment, and outcome associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunting in dogs and cats

In this episode of our free Neurology for Vets webinar series, sponsored by Hallmarq Advanced Veterinary Imaging, we invite Dr Daniela Farketo to present her latest research published on risk factors, treatment, and outcome in dogs and cats with subdural hematoma and hemispheric collapse after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting of congenital internal hydrocephalus.

Overshunting and hemispheric collapse are well-known complications after ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation. Risk factors that predispose to over shunting, treatment options, and prognosis after therapeutic intervention have not been described and this is the focus of this study.
