Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a potentially reversible neurodegenerative disease commonly characterized by a triad of dementia, gait, and urinary disturbance. Advancements in diagnosis and treatment have aided in properly identifying and improving symptoms in patients. However, a large proportion of iNPH patients remain either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Using PubMed searc...
متن کاملIdiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus in neurological practice
Background: We have previously seen that idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients havingelevated intracranial pressure (ICP) pulse amplitude consistently respond to shunt surgery. In this study weexplored how the cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) pulse amplitude determined during lumbar infusion testing,correlates with ICP pulse amplitude determined during over-nig...
متن کاملGlymphatic MRI in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
The glymphatic system has in previous studies been shown as fundamental to clearance of waste metabolites from the brain interstitial space, and is proposed to be instrumental in normal ageing and brain pathology such as Alzheimer's disease and brain trauma. Assessment of glymphatic function using magnetic resonance imaging with intrathecal contrast agent as a cerebrospinal fluid tracer has so ...
متن کاملA Rare Cause of Obstructive Chronic Hydrocephalus in an Adult Patient: A Case Report of Fourth Ventricle\'s Foramina Idiopathic Stenosis
Background & Importance: Idiopathic stenosis of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka is a rare cause of obstructive hydrocephalus involving the fourth ventricle. Case Presentation: We reported the case of a 40-year-old woman who developed headaches and vertigo for several months and more recently gait disturbance. The CT scan showed quadri-ventricular hydrocephalus involving mainly...
متن کاملComparison of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers between idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced chronic hydrocephalus: A pilot study
BACKGROUND We examined the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-induced and idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) to investigate the pathophysiology and mechanism of communicating hydrocephalus compared to obstructive hydrocephalus. MATERIAL/METHODS We obtained CSF samples from 8 INPH, 10 SAH-induced hydrocephalus, and 6 unmatched patients with non-hemo...
