The lumbar subarachnoid infusion test in infants
Abstract
The authors describe the results obtained with the lumbar subarachnoid infusion test in 75 infants with suspected abnormalities in the cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. On the basis of the results obtained, an algorithm is proposed that enables infants with normal intracranial responses during the test to be differentiated from those with defective cerebrospinal fluid absorption mechanisms.

Impaired CSF resorption in children with ISS has been demonstrated by infusion into the lumbar subarachnoid space; these studies also showed decompression of the sagittal sinus after surgery, improved CSF reabsorption, and reduced subarachnoid CSF collections.
“In the past, impaired CSF resorption in children with ISS has also been demonstrated by the technique of infusion into the lumbar subarachnoid space [15,16]. These studies have also shown a decompression of the sagittal sinus after surgery. This improved CSF reabsorption and reduced the extent of subarachnoid CSF collections.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
