Abstract:
Objective To investigate the treatment effect of lumbar subarachnoid continuous drainage on delayed hydrocephalus in patients with cerebral trauma after decompressive craniectomy.Methods Thirty-two patients with delayed hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy,admitted to our hospital from June 2009 to September 2013,were treated by lumbar subarachnoid continuous drainage;and the treatment effect was analyzed.Results After lumbar subarachnoid continuous drainage,14 patients got successful drainage tube being extracted in the first period,5 were in the second cycle;they all got avoidance ofventriculo peritoneal shunt operation.However,the other 13 patients,developed into shunt dependent hydrocephalus,were treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation.No central nervous system infections were noted during the period of draining.Conclusion The treatment of lumbar subarachnoid continuous drainage,with the characteristics of small trauma and easy operating,can reduce the incidence of shunt dependent hydrocephalus,which is developed by delayed hydrocephalus.
