Ascites production and prognosis after ventriculoperitoneal shunt for diffuse midline gliomas in children: A case series
These cases underscore the importance of continuous monitoring of both the CSF and ascitic fluid in patients with gliomas. Regular assessments of biochemical composition, cytology, and other diagnostic tests are crucial for early detection of disease progression. This proactive approach facilitates timely clinical judgment and intervention, potentially improving patient outcomes.
