Comparison of safety of lumbar drain versus external ventricular drain in symptomatic hydrocephalus following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Symptomatic HCP after aneurysmal SAH can be effectively and safely treated with LD. LD had lower overall complications than EVD with no hemorrhage, infection or malfunction. Further prospective randomized control study may be helpful in elucidating optimal CSF diversion for patients with symptomatic HCP.
