Diffusion imaging in obstructive hydrocephalus.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hydrocephalus causes transependymal resorption of spinal fluid that in turn produces periventricular interstitial edema. This study was performed to determine if diffusion imaging can demonstrate this interstitial edema in the periventricular region in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus and if it can be used to assess the treatment response. METHODS Twenty-one pati...
متن کاملNormal pressure hydrocephalus: Diagnostic and predictive evaluationon
In typical cases, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) manifests itself with the triad of gait disturbance, which begins first, followed by mental deterioration and urinary incontinence associated with ventriculomegaly (on CT or MRI) and normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. These cases present minor diagnostic difficulties and are the most likely to improve after shunting. Problems arise w...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging in hydrocephalus: initial experience.
PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an MR imaging-based technique that provides an in vivo tool for visualization of white matter tracts. In this preliminary study, we used this technique to investigate the diffusion characteristics of white matter tracts in patients with hydrocephalus before and after surgery and compared them with age-matched volunteers. MATERIALS AND M...
متن کاملImaging examinations in children with hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus is characterized by an imbalance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) formation and absorption. It is manifested as a dilatation of the ventricular system. About 55% of all hydrocephalus cases have congenital origin. There are two types of hydrocephalus: communicating and non-communicating with subarachnoid space and the diagnosis depends on the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic reson...
