| description | Introduction: There is no previous literature on the use of telemetric sensors (telesensor) in the lumbar theca. We aim to provide novel data on telemetric pressure monitoring of the lumbar theca via lumboperitoneal shunts. Research question: Primary outcome is telemetric sensor malfunction of lumboperitoneal shunt. The secondary outcome is post-operative complications. Materials and methods: A single centre retrospective case series of patients with telemetric sensor in LP shunt system, between 2015 and 2021, consisting of 5 patients. Review of indications for use, duration of function of telemetric sensor and associated complications. Results: There was no procedural complications of LP shunt insertion with telemetric sensor. The patient with highest body weight patient had retraction of distal tubing which required distal resiting 3 times. Four out of five patients had no complications. In all cases, telemetric sensor functioned satisfactorily with no dysfunction. The duration of documentation was 1–40 months. Pressure readings were satisfactorily carried out in variety of positions. Discussion and conclusion: This is the first report of telemetric sensor use in the lumbar theca. It can provide a valuable way of measuring cerebrospinal fluid pressures, particularly in patients avoiding cranial surgery. More research is indicated to assess what pressure values would mean clinically. |
