Evaluation of Miethke M.scio Device Implantation for Intracranial Pressure Monitoring in Patients with Cerebrospinal Fluid Disorders.

Background: Patients with complex shunt-related problems and varying diagnoses of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disturbance can present with headache and clinical symptoms that may be difficult to relate to underdrainage or overdrainage. Telemetric intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring may assist in evaluating individual patients and assessing shunt function and adjustment. We report a case series of patients receiving a Miethke M.

Cystoventricular Drainage of Intracranial Arachnoid Cysts in Adults.

Background: Intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) are generally benign fluid-filled cysts with a prevalence of 0.5%-2.7%.

Telemetric intracranial pressure monitoring: a noninvasive method to follow up children with complex craniosynostoses. A case report.

Introduction: There are no reliable noninvasive methods of monitoring ICP. Most assessments are made by indirect measures and are difficult to follow over time. Invasive studies can be used but up until now have required in-hospital transcutaneous measurements.
