Spontaneous closure of CPSS can ocur in some anatomic forms during the first two years of life. Most commonly spontaneous closure does not occur. Given the risk of severe systemic complications, it is generally agreed amongst specialists that the majority of CPSSs should be closed by radiological or surgical intervention. Shunt closure prevents the development of complications in pre-symptomatic subjects and may reverse or stabilize signs and symptoms in symptomatic patients.
