Retrospective clinical experience with our first 46 patients monitored with a fiberoptic intracranial pressure device is described. In 43 of 46 patients, the transducer was introduced into brain parenchyma. A ventriculostomy system was used in 3 of 46 patients. The monitoring system was generally characterized by ease of placement and system maintenance and by technical simplicity. Several problems were encountered, including breakage of system components (12%), erroneous readings requiring transducer repositioning (8.6%), epidural hematoma (3.4%), and infection (1.7%). No infections or hematomas occurred in the 3 cases in which the ventriculostomy system was used. Overall, our experience with the Camino intracranial pressure fiberoptic monitoring system confirms previous reports of its favorable features.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
