Executive Function Improvement in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Following Shunt Surgery
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate improvement of executive functions after shunt surgery in patients with early normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Patients with NPH were assessed before and after shunt surgery with tests shown to be sensitive to damage to the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Significant differences were found between basal and follow-up performances on the Boston Naming T...
متن کاملAnalysis of postural sway in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus: effects of shunt implantation
Poor postural balance is one of the major risk factors for falling in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Postural instability in the clinic is commonly assessed based upon force platform posturography. In this study we focused on the identification of changes in sway characteristics while standing quiet in patients with NPH before and after shunt implantation. Postural sway area and sway radi...
متن کاملPredictors of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Revision in Patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.
OBJECTIVE Few studies have focused on predictive factors of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt revision in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). This study aims to determine whether comorbidities and baseline symptoms are associated with the need for shunt revision. METHODS A retrospective review of patients with iNPH treated with VP shunts by the senior author from 1993...
متن کاملNormal Pressure Hydrocephalus Presentation with a Large Pseudomeningocele
Background and Importance: This interesting case is about the presence of normal pressure hydrocephalus and a large pseudomeningocele at the same time after 13 months of posterior fossa surgery. Although the occurrence of a pseudomeningocele following posterior fossa surgery is not so rare, such a late large pseudomeningocele development with signs and symptoms of NPH after 13 months of surgery...
متن کاملClinical outcome of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus three years after shunt implantation.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the outcomes of surgical treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). PATIENTS AND METHODS We prospectively investigated 51 patients treated for iNPH by insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt with gravitational valve. RESULTS The proportion of excellent, good, and satisfactory outcomes immediately following surgery was 80%; the same clinical outc...
