A new technique of ventricular drainage in Post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus
Abstract
Post hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation is
a known complication of preterm neonates
with intraventricular hemorrhage.
For temporary management of rapidly
progressing post hemorrhagic ventricular
dilatation many interventions are available.
All these need skill for instituting,
moreover they are costly and the rate of
fluid to be drained cannot be controlled.
We present a simple cost effective
method of controlled drainage of CSF in
a preterm with rapidly progressing ventricular
dilatation following hemorrhage,
who was later treated with ventriculoperitoneal
shunt
