After excellent control of symptoms for 3 years, the patient presented to the emergency department with increasing tremors following a refill of his baclofen pump
5 Agonism of GABA B receptors found on type Ia presynaptic neurons Adverse Events: In addition to procedure-related risks, the following may occur: pocket seroma; hematoma; erosion; infection; pump inversion; post-lumbar puncture risks (spinal headache); CSF leak and rare central nervous system pressure-related problems; radiculitis; arachnoiditis; spinal cord
The intrathecal space contains the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) the fluid that surrounds the
4%) with indium studies
Plasma and CSF levels of baclofen can be obtained, but the results may be misleading since there is no direct correlation between the programmed intrathecal dose
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak or infection can limit efficacy and increase
Your spinal canal is a fluid-filled space
Conclusion: Acute ITB overdose is managed with immediate cessation of baclofen delivery through the system, reducing the baclofen load by cerebrospinal
Although, our patient received oral baclofen (120 mg daily in four divided doses) initially but these doses Background: Insertion of an intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump can provide significant benefits in patients with cerebral palsy (CP)
Surgical revision was performed, and the connector from the catheter to the pump was found to be loose
We report a pediatric case in which intractable cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)leakage associated with several inconvenient symptoms arose after implantation of the ITB pump system
An intrathecal baclofen trial will help your doctor decide if an intrathecal baclofen pump is

The clinical effects from Persistent cerebrospinal fluid leak is a known complication of intrathecal pump system insertion for drug delivery

Catheter is placed into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space; Catheter is connected to a pump which is typically inserted into the lower abdominal wall
3 seven patients, the average CSF elimination half-life was 1
An 18- or 22-gauge syringe with the distal 5-mm tip bent at a 30–45° angle may be used to access the pump
Unlike pump implantation and replacement, baclofen pump refill procedures carry a very low rate of infection, with an infection rate per puncture of 0
51 hours over the first four hours and the average CSF clearance was approximately 30 mL/hour
