External Ventricular Drainage is a temporary neurosurgical procedure used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain's ventricles when fluid accumulation or increased intracranial pressure requires urgent management. A small catheter is inserted into a cerebral ventricle and connected to an external drainage and monitoring system. The procedure may be used in conditions such as hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, or other situations involving elevated intracranial pressure.
