Escuchen subdural puncture (ESP) is a treatment for epilepsy that involves injecting a small amount of fluid into the subdural space of the brain. This method was developed by the Austrian neurologist Eskuchen and was first used in the 1920s.
ESP is one of the most effective treatments for epilepsy. It can reduce the number of attacks and improve the quality of life of patients. However, this method is not universal and may not be effective in some cases.
The ESP procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. The doctor makes a small incision in the patient's scalp and inserts a needle into the subdural cavity. He then slowly injects a small amount of fluid into the cavity.
After the procedure, the patient may experience some headache and dizziness, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days.
Eskuhen Suboccipital Puncture
Eskuchen suboccitic puncture is an invasive procedure aimed at removing excess cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain. This procedure allows you to improve the general condition of the patient and get rid of symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and also reduce the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in case of its excessive accumulation or the development of hydrocephalus (hydrocephalus).
The process of escuchen suboxapital puncture begins with preparing the puncture site of the scalp. The procedure is performed using a needle or thin tube, which is inserted into the occipital region of the head through the
