Abstract
A shunt is a device that redirects CSF from the CNS to a body cavity (usually the peritoneum or the right atrium). Nowadays, the various manufactures offer a bewildering multitude of shunt components and configurations and is not possible to label one shunt system better than the others. An ideal shunt doesn't exist. Describing every possible configuration is impossible and, in this chapter, we will try to summary the concepts about the main shunt components, to describe the "state of art" technology.
