Acute intracranial hypertension and shunt dependency following treatment of intracranial arachnoid cyst in a child: a case report and review of the literature.

abstract：:Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) were studied in cats, suffering from a chronic space-occupying lesion produced by enlargement of an epidural balloon over the left sensomotory cortex. Our study shows that latency alterations of SEP are not dependent on the degree of ICP. Additional...
