Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is too much CSF in the ventricles. This occurs when the natural system for draining and absorbing extra CSF does not work right. The ventricles enlarge to accommodate the extra fluid and then press on different parts of the brain, causing a number ...
The fluid flows in and around the brain and spinal cord to cushion and protect them from injury (Fig. 1). Veins at the top of the head absorb CSF into the bloodstream at the rate of about one ounce per hour. NPH occurs when the normal volume of CSF is not absorbed fast enough, cau...
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is an increase in the amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain without a corresponding increase in pressure. CSF is a clear fluid that circulates within the four ventricles, or cavities, of the brain. It surrounds the brain and spinal cord (the ce...
The possibility that hydrocephalus which is associated with normal pressure of the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) may be a treatable form of dementia has aroused renewed interest in radionuclide cysternography (RNC) for the dynamic study of CSF circulation. Improvement of imaging devices and the ...
由国际成人脑积水临床研究网络和国际脑积水脑脊液病学会发起,中国微循环学会神经变性病专业委员会、中国医科大学航空总医院联合主办的第二届“可逆性痴呆:聚焦正常压力脑积水(Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus ,NPH)国际高级研修班”拟于2017年4...
The musical moves from scene to scene with a fluid swiftness that evoked the satisfying finger-swipe across the glossy surface of a tablet or a smartphone. What’s more, the minimal dialogue — much of it scary-sounding medical jargon delivered by doctors proposing different treatments — is of...
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a progressive neurological disease that requires early diagnosis for better treatment. Understanding its pathophysiology, particularly cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsatility, aids in patient selection for shunt surge
The article provides information on normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a progressive neurological condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) causes ventricles in the brain to enlarge. The possible causes of NPH, as well as its symptoms are discussed. The challenges in recognizing NPH are...
All of them had cognitive impairment, gait disturbance, and urinary problems, along with normal pressure of cerebrospinal fluid. Their brain MRI showed enlargement of the ventricles and a disproportional narrowing of the subarachnoid space and cortical sulci at the high convexity of the cerebrum, ...
This study aimed to enhance NPH diagnosis by comparing the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of radiological parameters, as evaluated by radiologists and AI methods, utilizing cerebrospinal fluid volumetry. Results revealed a sensitivity of 77.14% for ...
