Intraventricular haemorrhage after aspiration of ventricular reservoirs.

Year: 1992

Type: article

Abstract: A previously unrecognised complication of aspirating ventricular reservoirs is described. Four infants developed fresh bleeding into the cerebrospinal fluid after reservoir taps; ultrasound confirmed intraventricular blood clot in one case. The technique for aspirating the reservoir may have an important bearing on the incidence of this complication.
