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
