Die Bedeutung eines schnellen, nicht belastenden, translumbalen, intrathekalen Infusionstestes für die Diagnose des Hydrocephalus male resorptivus und die Indikationsstellung zur Shuntoperation*

Abstract
The results of a fast intrathecal lumbal infusion test by 20 patients with suspect hydrocephalus male resorptivus are reported. The comparison of the infusion test results with the computer tomographic and isotope cisternographic findings shows that the infusion test, if correct carried out and critical estimated, is a great aid in assessing the indications for a shunt operation.
