A tube from the brain to the abdomen that drains excessive cerebrospinal fluid is called a shunt. The shunt is a passage that allows movement of fluids. It consists of two catheters and a valve that redirect excess fluid from the brain's ventricle to another part of the body. This tube is surgically placed in the brain.
