1. Estudo da anatomia endoscópica ventricular em cadáveres humanos brasileiros não fixados para realização de terceiro ventriculostomia / Study of ventricular endoscopic anatomy on Brazilian human cadavers non-fixed for the performance of the third ventriculostomy
INTRODUÇÃO: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi medir, através da endoscopia, o plexo corióideo no forame interventricular e estruturas no assoalho do terceiro ventrículo, bem como a distância entre as artérias comunicantes posteriores e comparar essas variáveis. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional, prospectivo realizado em 37 cérebros de cadáveres humanos ad

2. Infecção na monitoração intraventricular da pressão intracraniana com drenagem contínua do líquido cefalorraquiano. / Infection in the intraventricular monitoring of the intracranial pressure with continuous drainage of cerebrospinal fluid.
Intraventricular monitoring of the intracranial pressure (ICP) with continuous drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is already a widespread procedure in neurosurgical practice and considered as of great diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic importance due to its precision. However, as it is an invasive method, it presents a potential risk of complications,

4. Cerebrospinal fluid penetration of moxalactam in ventriculostomy patients.
The cerebrospinal fluid penetration of moxalactam was simultaneously investigated in three patients with presumed bacterial meningitis. When ratios of simultaneously drawn ventriculostomy to serum moxalactam levels of 1, 2, 3, and 4 h were examined, the penetration ratios were 7.8 +/- 2.4, 11.2 +/- 1.3, 14.2 +/- 2.5, and 15.0 +/- 4.9%, respectively. These ra

5. Molecular Identification of Staphylococcus lugdunensis in a Patient with Meningitis
A 12-year-old child developed meningitis 6 days after a third ventriculostomy by endoscopy. A coagulase-negative Staphylococcus sp. was isolated in pure culture from the cerebrospinal fluid and was definitely identified as Staphylococcus lugdunensis after the 16S ribosomal DNA gene and rpoB gene were sequenced. This report describes the first case of S. lugd

6. Penetration of Colistin into Cerebrospinal Fluid▿
Colistin penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied in five critically ill adult patients receiving colistin methanesulfonate for infections by multiresistant gram-negative bacilli. Colistin concentrations were determined in paired serum and CSF samples, with the latter taken by lumbar puncture, with the exception of one patient with an exter

7. Disposition and Elimination of Meropenem in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Hydrocephalic Patients with External Ventriculostomy
The broad antibacterial spectrum and the low incidence of seizures in meropenem-treated patients qualifies meropenem for therapy of bacterial meningitis. The present study evaluates concentrations in ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the absence of pronounced meningeal inflammation. Patients with occlusive hydrocephalus caused by cerebrovascular disea

8. Penetration of cefuroxime into ventricular fluid in cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections.
The penetration of intravenously administered cefuroxime into ventricular fluid was assessed in five pediatric patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections and in one with a ventriculostomy infection. Patients received a total dose of 200 to 230 mg of cefuroxime per kg of body weight per day administered at 8-h intervals. Levels of cefuroxime in ventr

9. Levofloxacin Disposition in Cerebrospinal Fluid in Patients with External Ventriculostomy
In vitro levofloxacin exhibits both potent or intermediate activity against most of the pathogens frequently responsible for acute bacterial meningitis and synergistic activity with some beta-lactams. Since levofloxacin was shown to penetrate the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during meningeal inflammation both in animals and in humans, the disposition of levoflo

10. Comparison of rates of infection of two methods of emergency ventricular drainage.
The rates of infection of two methods of external ventricular drainage in use at Atkinson Morley's Hospital--namely, (a) percutaneous drainage with Rickham reservoirs and (b) tunnelled ventriculostomies--were compared in this retrospective review. Percutaneous drainage of CSF with Rickham reservoirs was associated with a 27% rate of infection as identified b

11. Aqueduct stenosis. Case review and discussion.
Twenty-seven cases of hydrocephalus associated with aqueduct stenosis are reviewed, and a further nine cases discussed in which hydrocephalus was present and the aqueduct was stenosed but some additional feature was present. This was either a meningocoele or an encephalocoele, or else the aqueduct was not completely obstructed radiologically at the initial e

12. Ceftriaxone diffusion into cerebrospinal fluid of children with meningitis.
We evaluated the diffusion of ceftriaxone into the cerebrospinal fluid of 27 infants and children with meningitis who were receiving conventional antimicrobic therapy. Ceftriaxone was administered as a single 75 mg/kg dose and was given early or late or both in the course of the illness. Three hours after a dose, the mean cerebrospinal fluid ceftriaxone leve
