Communicating hydrocephalus following total parenteral nutrition. 1980

L J Newman, and L Heitlinger, and E Hiesiger, and D Kotsilimbas, and S Puljic

Communicating hydrocephalus secondary to cerebral venous outflow obstruction has been reported in a few patients several months following removal of a TPN catheter. We report the case of an infant who developed this sequal 4 mo after the catheter was removed. We illustrate the techniques used to delineate the type of hydrocephalus. A lumbo-peritoneal shunt was performed to alleviate the condition.

D010288 Parenteral Nutrition The administering of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient who cannot maintain adequate nutrition by enteral feeding alone. Nutrients are administered by a route other than the alimentary canal (e.g., intravenously, subcutaneously). Intravenous Feeding,Nutrition, Parenteral,Parenteral Feeding,Feeding, Intravenous,Feeding, Parenteral,Feedings, Intravenous,Feedings, Parenteral,Intravenous Feedings,Parenteral Feedings
D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.

D002557 Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts Tubes inserted to create communication between a cerebral ventricle and the internal jugular vein. Their emplacement permits draining of cerebrospinal fluid for relief of hydrocephalus or other condition leading to fluid accumulation in the ventricles.
