Tóm tắt

This paper describes the current techniques for intraventricular drug administration in patients with meningiosis. Advantages and disadvantages of different reservoir systems, the standard implantation procedure and more recently developed image-guided techniques are discussed. In patients with slit ventricles, the CT-based stereotactic approach is recommended for reservoir implantation.
