Özet
The reactions of periventricular tissue of the lateral ventricle to non-infected and infected (Staphylococcus Epidermidis) silicone shunt tubing were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that reactive changes occurred in periventricular tissue in response to the implant of sterile shunt tubing. On the other hand in infected implanted silicone shunt tubing, proliferation of inflammatory cells within the ventricle and periventricular tissue, loss of integrity of the ependyma, glial cell proliferation, and excessive extracellular oedema were demonstrated. Proliferation of ependymal cells combined with inflammatory responses may be a factor in the pathogenesis of infected shunt obstruction.
