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.
