Abstract:
Telemetric intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors are useful tools in the management of complex hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Clinicians may use them as a "snapshot" screening tool to assess shunt function or ICP. We compared "snapshot" telemetric ICP recordings with extended, in-patient periods of monitoring to determine whether this practice is safe and useful for clinical decision making.
