OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of shunting surgery in the treatment for patients with meningeal carcinomatosis.
Methods: The therapeutic process of shunting surgery was analyzed in 5 meningeal carcinomatosis patients.
Results: The intracranial pressure could effectively be controlled, and the associated symptoms could be relieved. No complications associated with shunting surgery were found during the hospitalization and follow-up. One patient, who did not receive the surgery, died in 2 months later.
Conclusion: Shunting surgery can effectively relieve the intracranial pressure caused by meningeal carcinomatosis, decrease the mortality and morbidity caused by intractable intracranial hypertension in these patients, and improve their live quality.
