Three-day CSF drainage barely reduces ventricular size in normal pressure hydrocephalus
Neurol 79:237-242, Lenfeldt, N.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Clinical improvement occurs in patients with NPH after ELD despite unaltered ventricles, suggesting that ventricular size is of little relevance for post shunt improvement or determining shunt function. The clinical effect provided by ELD, mimicking shunting, is probably related to the recurring CSF extractions rather than to the cumulative effect of the drainage on ventricular volume.
