An Ommaya Reservoir is a catheter that extends from the surface of the skull to an area inside the brain. It is used to deliver drugs directly to the cerebrospinal fluid. Diseases like brain tumors and leukemia are sometimes treated via an Ommaya Reservoir. The device is named after its founder, Ayub K. Ommaya.

The Laws of the Game do not prohibit medical devices, as long as they are not dangerous to anyone else. You should consult your physician regarding whether or not the Ommaya Reservoir will affect your own safety.
The Ommaya Reservoir is a device where fluids can enter or be removed from the brain and its surrounding areas. This device is usually used to collect samples or to provide chemotherapy directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and brain.
Yes I have one for my craniopharyngioma. Aspiration is so easy through It! The use of an Ommaya reservoir does depend on the position of the optic nerves in relation to the tumour and how often aspiration is required. Constant pressure and then the regular removal is not good forthe optic nerves and may cause them to deteriorate.
