[Case report of paradoxical overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid].
The authors describe a case of paradoxical lumboperitoneal overdrain of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with severe CSF hypotension syndrome in horizontal position of the patient and immediate cessation in vertical position. Ligation and then removal of lumboperitoneal shunt lead to rapid and stable disappearance of overdrain syndrome as well as concurrent left-side radicular pain syndrome in the leg.
