Hydrocephalic valves are devices designed to shunt cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricular system or subarachnoid spaces to the peritoneal cavity or right atrium of the heart, where it is reabsorbed into the blood flow. These valves are used to treat conditions involving abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in the ventricular system or subarachnoid spaces.
