[Computerized infusion test. II. Clinical use].
In 39 patients with intracranial lesions the resorption resistance was measured using an own computerized infusion test. A high usefulness of this test was demonstrated in the diagnosis of hydrocephalus and for establishing indications to ventriculocardiac valve implantation. In patients after craniocerebral injuries a rise was observed of the resorption resistance immediately after trauma in cases with subarachnoid haemorrhage. Later on, this resistance decreased gradually reaching a stable value after 1-2 years. Data obtained in the infusion test make possible establishing of optimal intracranial pressure and choice of an appropriate valve. The determination can be performed intraoperatively.
