    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Context:

    • Intracranial lesions, including hydrocephalus and subarachnoid hemorrhage post-craniocerebral injury, present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Accurate measurement of intracranial resorption resistance is crucial for effective patient management.
    • Current diagnostic methods may lack the precision needed for optimal treatment decisions.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the utility of a novel computerized infusion test for measuring intracranial resorption resistance.
    • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the test for hydrocephalus.
    • To determine the test's applicability in managing patients with post-traumatic intracranial conditions.

    Summary:

    • A computerized infusion test was utilized to measure resorption resistance in 39 patients with intracranial lesions.

  • The test demonstrated high usefulness in diagnosing hydrocephalus and identifying indications for ventriculocardiac valve implantation.
  • In patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage after craniocerebral injury, resorption resistance initially rose and then gradually decreased over 1-2 years.

    • Impact:

    • The infusion test provides valuable data for establishing optimal intracranial pressure and selecting appropriate valves.
    • Intraoperative determination of resorption resistance is feasible, allowing for timely treatment adjustments.
    • This diagnostic tool can improve outcomes for patients with various intracranial pathologies.
