  • Title: Transoval administration of opiates into trigeminal cistern for cancer pain. Preliminary report.
    Author: Esposito S, Delitala A.
    Journal: Neurochirurgia (Stuttg); 1991 Jul; 34(4):116-8. PubMed ID: 1717858.
    Abstract:
    A new method for administration of opiates into the ventriculo-cisternal system for intractable pain due to cancer is presented. Five patients suffering from such pain underwent the permanent implantation of a subcutaneous reservoir connected to a thin catheter inserted into the trigeminal cistern. The indications are those of the intraventricular way. Percutaneous trigeminal opiates administration (PTO) proved to be a valid and simple alternative method to intrathecal and intraventricular morphine.
