Placement of ventricular reservoirs is a common practice to treat various tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Ventricular catheter-reservoir-associated edema has been noted in the literature, but a thorough review of this literature identified no articles that examine this particular complication in neurooncology patients, specifically. We report two cases of ventricular catheter-reservoir-associated edema in patients receiving treatment for CNS metastasis.
放置脑室储液囊是治疗各种中枢神经系统(CNS)肿瘤的常见做法。文献中已提及脑室导管 - 储液囊相关水肿,但对该文献进行全面回顾后发现,没有文章专门研究神经肿瘤患者中的这种特定并发症。我们报告了两例接受中枢神经系统转移瘤治疗的患者发生脑室导管 - 储液囊相关水肿的病例。
