Abstract EN
Placement of ventricular reservoirs is a common practice to treat various tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).
Ventricular catheter-reservoir-associated edema has been noted in the literature, but a thorough review of this literature identified no articles that examine this particular complication in neurooncology patients, specifically.
We report two cases of ventricular catheter-reservoir-associated edema in patients receiving treatment for CNS metastasis.
