A simple method for continuous pressure recording. 1976

R Levinthal

A relatively simple, nonoperative, percutaneous procedure for recording continuous cerebrospinal fluid pressure was carried out on 12 patients at UCLA Hospital. The experience with pressure recording in these patients has demonstrated no mortality or permanent sequelae and the technical character of the records has been excellent. This technique could make continuous pressure recording more easily available to the average practioner. Other uses for this procedure are also suggested.
