Presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device - what does this mean
A cerebrospinal fluid drainage device is used when a patient experiences increased pressure in the brain due to an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. the device is surgically placed in the ventricular system of the brain and is used to drain the excess fluid, thereby reducing the pressure and allowing the patient to recover.
What happens during the disease - presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device
The presence of a cerebrospinal fluid drainage device is indicative of an underlying condition that is causing increased intracranial pressure. this can be caused by a variety of conditions such as brain tumors, hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, meningitis, or infection. the device is used to reduce the pressure in the brain by draining the cerebrospinal fluid. the underlying condition must be identified and treated in order to reduce the risk of further complications.
