External Ventricular Deviation (EDV) is a medical device that provides transient and controlled external drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This device can also monitor intracranial pressure (ICP). SEV is an emergency measure indicated for acute hydrocephalus and / or intracranial hypertension (HTIC). Weaning from a DVE should be considered as soon as possible from the moment the patient\'s clinical condition allows it. There is no consensus on how to wean SEVs. The main objective of this study is to evaluate inter and intraobserver reproducibility of the measurement of the 3rd ventricle size by ultrasound in patients receiving a DVE withdrawal test.
