Patients suffering from hydrocephalus are often treated by the surgical placement of a shunt, directing the excess of cerebrospinal fluid towards another body compartment. However, the degree of clinical improvement is variable and the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in shunted hydrocephalus is poorly understood. A recently developed noninvasive technique makes it possible to follow pressure variations: it is based on otoacoustic emissions, sounds naturally emitted by the cochlea and routinely detected in audiology. When cerebrospinal fluid pressure changes, emissions undergo a phase shift while crossing the oval window. The goal of this work is to study how this shift is affected by shunt placement.
