The lumbar subarachnoid infusion test in infants
Abstract
The authors describe the results obtained with the lumbar subarachnoid infusion test in 75 infants with suspected abnormalities in the cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. On the basis of the results obtained, an algorithm is proposed that enables infants with normal intracranial responses during the test to be differentiated from those with defective cerebrospinal fluid absorption mechanisms.
