A cerebrospinal fluid shunt system comprising brain ventricle catheter means for insertion into the brain ventricle so as to drain cerebrospinal fluid from said brain ventricle; sinus sagittalis catheter means for insertion into the sinus sagittalis for feeding said cerebrospinal fluid into sinus sagittalis; shunt main body means connected at one end thereof to said brain ventricle catheter means and at another end thereof to said sinus sagittalis catheter means for providing fluidic communication between said brain ventricle catheter means and said sinus sagittalis catheter means; and tubular flow passage restricting means defined within said shunt main body defining a system total resistance to flow of 8-12 mm Hg/ml/min.

Cette invention se rapporte à un système de dérivation pour le liquide céphalorachidien, qui comprend un cathéter destiné à être introduit dans les ventricules du cerveau, afin d'évacuer le liquide céphalorachidien desdits ventricules, un cathéter destiné à être introduit dans les sinus sagittaux pour amener le liquide céphalorachidien dans lesdits sinus, un corps principal de dérivation relié par l'une de ses extrémités au cathéter pour les ventricules du cerveau et par l'autre extrémité au cathéter pour les sinus sagittaux, afin d'établir une communication fluidique entre le cathéter pour ventricules et le cathéter pour sinus; ainsi qu'un moyen tubulaire limitant le passage du flux, ce moyen étant formé dans le corps principal de dérivation de façon à offrir au système de dérivation une résistance totale à l'écoulement comprise entre 8 et 12 mm Hg/ml/min.
