Lumboperitoneal Shunt Combined With Ommaya Reservoir Enables Continued Intraventricular Chemotherapy for Leptomeningeal Metastasis With Increased Intracranial Pressure

BACKGROUNDIntra-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) chemotherapy for leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) can be delivered intraventricularly via an Ommaya reservoir. However, hydrocephalus associated with LM can interfere with chemotherapeutic drug distribution, and ventriculoperitoneal shunts can prevent drug dis...
