%X shunt dysfunction is a common situation in neurosurgery. often symptoms, physical examination and radiology are not enough to set a diagnosis. icp continuous monitoring is a safe and reliable tool that provides valuable information about csf dynamics in these patients. not only quantitative analysis is needed but also a qualitative one that enables pathological waves identification, because high amplitude b waves are strongly related to shunt dysfunction. in this paper experience about icp continuous monitoring in patients with shunt dysfunction suspect is presented. quantitative and qualitative data analysis led to a correct diagnosis, improving all the patients treated according to this criterion. an intraparenchymatous camino£¿ sensor and neuropicture software (developed by first author) for data collection and graphic representation were used. complications related to monitoring were absent and graphics obtained useful for qualitative analysis.
