Clinical outcome of cerebrospinal fluid shunts in patients with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis [PDF]
World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2019 Background Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) is frequently associated with hydrocephalus, which quickly devastates the performance of the patient. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt is a widely accepted treatment of choice, but the clinical outcomes in ...

Is simultaneous cranioplasty with cerebrospinal fluid shunts implantation as safe as staged procedures? [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 ObjectiveThe combination of cranioplasty and ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a therapeutic strategy for patients with hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy (DC). However, the efficacies of simultaneous vs.

A Rare Case of a CSF Pseudocyst Mimicking a Complex Hepatic Cyst
Journal of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology, 2021 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) peritoneal pseudocysts are a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. They can manifest with symptoms of shunt malfunction or, more commonly, vague symptoms of abdominal discomfort such as pain or distention.

A Clinical Feasibility Study of Spinal Evoked Compound Action Potential Estimation Methods
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Recently, SCS has been enhanced further with evoked compound action potential (ECAP) sensing. Characteristics of the ECAP, if appropriately isolated from concurrent stimulation artifact (SA), may be used to control, and aid in the programming of, SCS systems.
