Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedures remain the principal method of treatment of hydrocephalus and an important option in treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Recent advances in CSF shunt hardware offer some promise in reducing the rate of complications. Third ventriculostomy has become ...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting is one of the most common procedures inneurosurgery.1Aventriculoperitoneal shunt(VPS) is usually the first-line option for patients withhydrocephalus.2However, when diverting theCSFto theperitoneumis contraindicated, alternative shunting spaces, including theatriumandpleur...
Shunt Surgery in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Aided by Electromagnetic Navigation Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and normal or slit ventricles. Lumb... Hermann,EJ ·Polemikos,M·Heissler,... - 《Stereotact ...
Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) diversion is among the most commonneurosurgical procedures that are performed worldwide. It is estimated thatapproximately 30,000ventriculostomiesare performed annually in the United States.Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt malfunction rate within the first year of initialimplantation ...
To give perspectives on current limitations and recent developments in the field of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD).Three CSF biomarkers for the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, namely total tau (T-tau), phospho-tau (P-tau) and the 42 amin...

Evaluation of CSF shunt patency by means of technetium-99m DTPA. Evaluation of 192 cerebrospinal fluid shunts was performed using 1 mCi of technetium-99m DTPA which was injected into the shunt tubing. This was found to b... Graham,Howman-Giles,Johnston,... - 《Journal of Neurosurgery》 被...
Systemic dissemination via the CSF or CSF diversionary shunt procedures is also rare. The reported 9-year-old child was a case of thalamic glioblastoma with hydrocephalus who underwent biventriculoperitoneal shunting before tumour decompression and radiotherapy. The child developed incapacitating ascitis...
This review integrates eight aspects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulatory dynamics: formation rate, pressure, flow, volume, turnover rate, composition, recycling and reabsorption. Novel ways to modulate CSF formation emanate from recent analyses of choroid plexus transcription factors (E2F5), ion ...
Metal homeostasis is critical for the proper functioning of the brain5. The brain is a target organ for toxic environmental pollutants6. The balance of metals within the brain is regulated through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier. In physiological condition...
