A new method for chronic intraventricular measurement of intracranial pressure.
A new simple method, which allows rapid access to the ventricular system to monitor intracranial pressure, is described. One of the lateral ventricles is punctured percutaneously, with a hand drill operated by a flash-light battery, and a lumbar puncture needle (20 gauge) attached to a water manometer or to a strain gauge connected to a venous pressure monitor.
