    Lumbar disc surgery and variations in C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the complement split product C 3 d (1988)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 90 (1988), S. 42-44 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Lumbar disc surgery ; erythrocyte sedimentation rate ; C-reactive protein ; disc space inflammation
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Lumbar disc surgery was performed in fifty consecutive patients and variation in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), complement C 3 d, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels before and after surgery were recorded. Preoperative values were within normal limits in all patients. Postoperatively, CRP increased immediately, with a maximum of 28.5 mg/l on the 2nd day and were normalized within 6 days. The maximum ESR elevation occurred after the 6th day and was followed by a slow decrease. After 12 weeks some patients still had an elevated ESR. Plasma C 3 varied pari passu with the ESR. Uncomplicated recovery after lumbar disc surgery seems to be indicated by a normalization of CRP, regardless of ESR values. Therefore, ESR may not be so useful as an indicator of disc space inflammation as previously accepted.

    Percutaneous insertion of CSF ventriculoatrial shunts — a new technique (1989)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 96 (1989), S. 76-79 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Ventriculoatrial shunt ; operative procedure ; percutaneous catheterization ; internal jugular vein

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary In conventional techniques concerning insertion of ventriculoatrial shunt systems, the route to the caval system is accomplished by a lateral rightsided neck dissection and isolation usually of the facial or the external jugular vein, in order to introduce the atrial catheter into the internal jugular vein and consequently the superior vena cava. A new approach for catheterization of the internal jugular vein is proposed. The technique is a combination of the well proven approach for percutaneous catheterization of the vein and a technique used in the implantation of permanent pacemaker leads. We find the method suitable for cases whenever a VA-shunt is prefered.

    Ventriculostomy-related infections—an epidemiological study (1986)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 83 (1986), S. 20-23 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Ventriculostomy ; infection ; subarachnoid ; haemorrhage
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary In a prospective study involving a total of 87 ventriculostomies, ventriculostomy-related infections (based upon a bacteriological definition) developed in 15 patients (17.2 per cent). Intraventricular haemorrhage was related to a higher infection rate. Infection was most frequent within the first days after the external ventricular drain (EVD) was inserted. There was no relation between infection and the number of manipulations of the EVD or antibiotic treatment during the time of EVD placement.

    Treatment of ventriculostomy-related infections (1988)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 91 (1988), S. 47-49 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Treatment ; infection ; ventriculostomy ; CSF shunt ; external ventricular drainage ; ventriculitis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The results of the treatment of 15 cases of ventriculitis related to the use of external ventricular drainage are presented. A review of the literature on the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections combined with our data suggest the following treatment of venticulostomy-related ventriculitis: 1. Antibiotic treatment according to the resistance pattern of the infecting microorganism and 2. Removal or replacement of the ventricular drain. 3. One should wait for bacteriological cure before implanting a permanent internal drainage system.

    Leucocyte scanning—a valuable tool in diagnosing cerebral abscess—a survey (1986)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 83 (1986), S. 121-124 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Brain abscess ; brain computed tomography ; brain radiolabelled leucocyte scanning
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Intracerebral abscess is a diagnosis which occasionally can be difficult to establish by using CT scan only. This survey describes the usefulness of a supplementary indium-111 autologous granulocyte scan which may increase the diagnostic specificity in the differential diagnosis between neoplasm and intracranial abscess. Judging from the literature and our own investigations the application of the granulocyte scan is discussed with special reference to the possible pitfalls which can give both false negative and false positive results.
