Programmable shunt systemSubdural hematomaVentriculomegalyNormal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) represents a common disorder among older people with mild elevation of cerebrospinal fluid pressure and certain clinical manifestations. We present a patient with such a disorder in whom a programmable valve was ...
The most common treatment for hydrocephalus isthe surgical insertion of a drainage system, called a shunt. It consists of a long, flexible tube with a valve that keeps fluid from the brain flowing in the right direction and at the proper rate. One end of the tubing is usually placed in o...
Cisternography is a test to watch how CSF moves through your brain and spinal canal. The test takes 1 to 3 days.How is hydrocephalus treated?Surgery: Tumor or cyst removal may help relieve a blockage and improve your symptoms. Shunt placement helps drain extra CSF fluid through a tube from...
the ventricles drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from thebrain. In individuals with ventriculitis, drainage may be impeded, and the patient can experience a range of symptoms. This condition is most commonly seen in people who have drains implanted in their ventricles to drain excess...
Today, the term hydrocephalus indicates an excess of fluid within the cranium. This is a pathological condition which occurs as a result of an imbalance between the production and absorption of this fluid, the Cerebrospinal Fluid – CSF.
Deposition of amyloid plaques is also associated with some conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Transthyretin can easily cross the blood-brainbody and it travels in thecerebrospinal fluid, as well as the blood. In people with disorders leading to buildups of this protein, it can create brain les...
Hydrocephalusinvolves a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid on the brain following injury. This fluid buildup can lead to increased brain pressure and result in further damage to brain tissue. Hydrocephalus is often treated with the surgical placement of a shunt to drain the fluid away from the brain...
Hypoxanthine, the end product of purine metabolism, is usually very elevated in body fluids during severe hypoxia. We measured hypoxanthine in the cerebrospinal fluid of hydrocephalic preterm infants (12 with posthemorrhagic, one with co... M.D. Raul Bejar,M.D. Ola D. Saugstad,M.D. Hector...
The neurosurgeons were able to repeat her Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) – and avoid a shunt – to relieve the pressure in her brain. We pray that the ETV will remain open and patent for life and that her body is able to manage the absorption of her cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). ...
