Factors Associated with Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement Following Posterior Fossa Tumor Resection in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background and Objectives: Posterior fossa tumors (PFTs) are common pediatric brain tumors and frequently present with obstructive hydrocephalus. Although tumor resection restores cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation in many patients, a subset subsequently requires ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement. This syst...
