Lumbar puncture for treating acute hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage

External ventricular drainage (EVD) for acute hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) carries a risk of complications. We studied the proportion of patients in whom EVD can be avoided by treating acute hydrocephalus with ≥1 lumbar punctures (LP). From a prospectively collected...

Zusammenfassung:External ventricular drainage (EVD) for acute hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) carries a risk of complications. We studied the proportion of patients in whom EVD can be avoided by treating acute hydrocephalus with ≥1 lumbar punctures (LP). From a prospectively collected database, we retrieved data on all aSAH patients admitted between 2007 and 2017 who developed acute hydrocephalus (i.e. neurological deterioration and ventricular enlargement
