A number of reliable methods are available for the short term monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP). However, the danger of infection and the need for external connections make the use of these methods for extended periods inappropriate. Most previously described devices for chronic monitoring of ICP are of limited value because of uncertain drift from zero-point readings. The Hittman-Meyer ICP sensor approaches the ideal for a long term monitoring device. It is fully implantable and is accurate over a wide range of pressures and for extended periods. It is designed so that in vivo calibration may be performed in a noninvasive fashion. We report the use of this device in eight patients with pseudomotor cerebri. It has functioned accurately for periods ranging up to 14 months after implantation and has proven to be a valuable aid in the management of these patients. (Neurosurgery, 5: 666-670, 1979).
有许多可靠的方法可用于短期监测颅内压（ICP）。然而，感染风险以及外部连接的需求使得长期使用这些方法并不合适。大多数先前描述的用于慢性监测ICP的设备由于零点读数存在不确定的漂移而价值有限。Hittman-Meyer ICP传感器接近长期监测设备的理想状态。它完全可植入，在很宽的压力范围内以及长时间内都很准确。其设计使得可以以非侵入性方式进行体内校准。我们报告了该设备在8例假脑瘤患者中的使用情况。植入后，它已准确运行长达14个月，并且已证明对这些患者的管理有很大帮助。（《神经外科学》，5：666 - 670，1979年）
