Intracranial hypotension caused by leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from the thecal sac after lumboperitoneal shunt placement. Case report.

abstract：:At British Columbia's Children's Hospital, the criteria used in selective functional posterior rhizotomy (SFPR) evolved in three distinct phases. In Phase 1 the electrophysiological criteria for abnormality included a low threshold to a single stimulation, a sustained response to 50-Hz stimulation, and spread outside ...
