A brain shunt is a narrow piece of tubing that is inserted into the brain in the fluid-filled ventricle. ... The shunt tubing relieves pressure on the brain, a condition known as hydrocephalus, by draining the extra fluid in the brain ventricle(s) to a different area of the body where it can be absorbed more quickly.
