Intracranial pressure monitoring using a programmable pressure valve and a telemetric intracranial pressure sensor in a case of slit ventricle syndrome after multiple shunt revisions

Childs Nerv Syst. 1991 Aug;7(4):233-4. doi: 10.1007/BF00249403.

Abstract

A case of hydrocephalus showing slit ventricle syndrome after multiple shunt revisions was treated with a programmable pressure valve, and intracranial pressure was monitored with a telemetric sensor. High pressure setting produced positive and normal values of intracranial pressure in this patient. We report our experiences.
