Abstract
In low-weight new-borns with hydrocephalus, neither the pressure
of liquor nor the size of intraventricular diameters provides reliable
information to proceed to a precise calculation the amount of liquor
to be removed in case of emergency without any danger for the
patient. By using a CT GE proSpeed program together with a 3D
software and by choosing proper threshold values to visualise liquor
and encephalon, we obtained directly from the program the
data relative to the volume of liquor and, hence, the amount of liquor
to be removed. In our opinion, this sensitive and non-invasive
technique is suitable to solve similar situations.
