Slit ventricle syndrome is a poorly understood entity characterized by features of raised intracranial pressure and small ventricles in shunt-dependent hydrocephalics. Five patients with this syndrome were treated with antisiphon devices, high pressure shunts, or subtemporal decompression, but continued to be symptomatic. Third ventriculostomy, performed as a last resort in these patients, gave encouraging results. The patient data, operative approach, and preliminary results are presented here.
裂隙脑室综合征是一种了解甚少的病症，其特征为在依赖分流术的脑积水患者中出现颅内压升高和脑室较小的情况。五名患有该综合征的患者接受了抗虹吸装置、高压分流术或颞下减压治疗，但仍有症状。作为这些患者的最后手段进行的第三脑室造瘘术取得了令人鼓舞的结果。本文介绍了患者数据、手术方法和初步结果。
