Diagnostic-therapeutic ventriculocystostomy
Abstract:
Simple diagnostic-therapeutic ventriculocystostomy is described. Arachnoid, intracerebral, or intraventricular cysts are permanently connected with the ventricles by a Kifa red catheter with spirally situated holes. The pressure balance and the connection with a physiological space for resorption is maintained in this simple way. Twenty patients have been operated on over a 2-year period with good results.
