  • Title: Diagnostic-therapeutic ventriculocystostomy.
    Author: Bret J, Benes V.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1987; 3(3):178-9. PubMed ID: 3652070.
    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.
