✦ Synopsis
hospital with signs of acute intracranial pressure. The MRIscan showed massive brain edema around the catheter shaft (Fig. 2). Thus, it was clear that even though we had been always able to aspirate cerebrospinal fluid, we obviously had instilled methotrexate directly into the parenchyma. This resulted in a large cystic defect (Fig. 3) with corresponding permanent neurologic deficits for this patient. It is necessary to construct a safer type of catheter to avoid such severe complications as described here.
