Abstract

In cases which need temporary external CSF drainage increased CSF protein levels with high viscosity of the fluid may cause a failure of the commonly used gravity dependant drainage systems. A possible solution to this problem using the vacuum effect of an IVAC system is proposed and its usefullness demonstrated.
