DOI: 10.1177/0269216316649128
Abstract: Background: Leptomeningeal metastasis–related hydrocephalus causes distress to patients with end-stage cancer through headache and other symptoms by elevating intracranial pressure, thus reducing quality of life. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt has been used as a treatment option in… read more here.
