METHOD FOR TREATING POST-HEMORRHAGIC OCCLUSIVE HYDROCEPHALUS IN NEWBORNS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B17/00 A61B17/34 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to neurosurgery, and can be used for treating post-hemorrhagic occlusive hydrocephalus in newborns. Puncture is performed from two points through coronary and lambdoid sutures with 14G diameter of front and occipital horns of side ventricles with their unloading from blood and liquor and decompression of subarachnoid space. It is followed by sanation with normal ventricles with arachnoencephalolysis when bringing the needles into an open subarachnoid space. Drains are formed between ventricles and subarachnoid space with collateral outflow of liquor and elimination of occlusion. Procedure is repeated 3 times, alternating with sanation of craniospinal liquor by repeated lumbar punctures, until the liquorodynamics is stabilized with recovery of outflow and suction of the liquor.

EFFECT: method enables higher clinical effectiveness, reducing the need for further surgical treatment by forming a collateral outflow of cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles to the subarachnoid space and recovering CSF absorption with stabilization of liquorodynamics.
