They also are known to have a propensity for CSF dissemination at the time of diagnosis and therefore screening of the entire neuraxis should be performed at the initial scan.

متن کاملAnterograde ventricular irrigation during fourth ventricle region surgery.
OBJECTIVE To reduce postoperative hydrocephalus following surgery in the region of the fourth ventricle. METHOD/TECHNIQUE: We describe the use of a conventionally placed lateral ventricular catheter to facilitate anterograde ventricular irrigation during surgery in the region of the fourth ventricle. This technique offers a safe alternative to more conventional approaches to fourth ventricular ...
