A new cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system, Sinushunt, has recently been introduced. CSF is shunted from the ventricles to the transverse sinus. The Sinushunt is not a classical differential pressure shunt; instead, it opens as soon as there is a positive pressure over the shunt and the flow is dependent on the resistance of the system, which is high compared with traditional CSF shunts. The objective of this study was to characterise the features of the Sinushunt and to evaluate its influence on the CSF system.
