Cerebrospinal fluid reservoirs provide access to the lateral cerebral ventricles via hypodermic puncture. They are used to obtain cerebrospinal fluid samples for cytological and chemical studies, monitor ventricular fluid pressure, facilitate ventricular drainage, and enable injection of chemotherapeutic agents and radio-isotopes into the ventricles and cystic tumours , particularly for treating hydrocephalus by draining cerebrospinal fluid to reduce intracranial pressure.
