| ABSTRACT |
|
Authors report four cases of hydrocephalic patients with slit ventricle syndrome, three of whom evidenced reexpansion of the ventricular system following insertion of high resistance value or anti-siphon devices. The results of the treatment were dramatic in two cases of anti-siphon divice application and relatively good in one case of high resistance valve application. The authors reviewed the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of the slit ventricle syndrome. |
