[Lumbo-peritoneal CSF shunt (author's transl)]. / La dérivation lombo-péritonéale.

ABSTRACT

In a preliminary technical report, the authors describe a procedure for lumbo-peritoneal shunt consisting of the percutaneous introduction of a sub-arachnoid proximal catheter. There would appear to be many advantages in the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus when compared with classical shunt methods taking the CSF from the ventricle.
