A cystoperitoneal shunt is a medical device used to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain's ventricles or cysts into the peritoneal cavity, where it can be absorbed by the body. This procedure is often employed to treat conditions like hydrocephalus or arachnoid cysts. The shunt consists of a catheter system that facilitates the flow of fluid, helping to alleviate pressure on the brain and prevent neurological complications. It is typically placed surgically and may require monitoring and maintenance over time.

Why HMP shunt called as shunt?
The HMP shunt, or Hexose Monophosphate shunt, is referred to as a "shunt" because it diverts glucose-6-phosphate from the glycolytic pathway to generate NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate. This pathway provides essential reducing power for biosynthetic reactions and helps in maintaining cellular redox balance. The term "shunt" highlights its role in redirecting metabolic flow away from energy production towards biosynthetic and antioxidant functions.
