Molecular genetic investigation of the neurofibromatosis type 2 tumor suppressor gene in sporadic meningioma.

abstract：OBJECT:Ascites and abdominal pseudocysts are two complications that can occur following placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Although various factors have been implicated, the exact pathogenesis of the two conditions remains elusive. To the authors' knowledge, there are no studies in which these two obviousl...
