متن کاملAbducens palsy following shunting for hydrocephalus.
Over a period of 12 years, 80 patients underwent ventricular shunting for normal pressure hydrocephalus. Three developed sixth cranial nerve palsy in the first two weeks after surgery. This uncommon complication is usually transitory following the same pattern of abducens palsy after lumbar puncture or spinal anesthesia. Traction on the nerve with local ischemia has been involved as the respons...

germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is the most common variety of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristics of the premature infant. the importance of the lesion relates not only to its high incidence but to their attendant complications (ic: hydrocephalus). brain sonography is the procedure of choice in diagnosis of germinal matrix- intraventricular hemorrhage and h...
متن کاملEarly shunting using the parallel shunt system in hemorrhagic hydrocephalus: in vitro testing of handling, technical complications and clogging rate.
In order to minimize the duration of external cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage after hemorrhagic hydrocephalus we are testing a parallel shunt system that can be implanted very early after bleeding. It should be able to tolerate a high load of protein and blood in the CSF. After clearance of the CSF, the valveless arm of the shunt is closed by a percutaneous manipulation and the valve-arm is ...
