Abstract
The theoretic basis for the endolymphatic subarachnoid shunt operation for the treatment of endolymphatic hydrops is to create a conduit between the endolymphatic sac and the subarachnoid space to allow equalization of endolymphaticperilymphatic pressure. A Silastic rubber tube is placed into the cerebellopontine cistern, and mesh attached to the distal end of the tube holds it within the lumen of the endolymphatic sac.
