High resolution SPECT with [99mTc]-d,l-HMPAO in normal pressure hydrocephalus before and after shunt operation.
Cranial CT and high resolution measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) with brain dedicated single photon emission computer tomography (SPECT) and [99mTc]-d,l-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime ([99mTc]-d,l-HMPAO) were performed before and after shunt operation in 14 consecutive patients with dementia and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). When compared with a control group of 14 age ...
متن کاملDoes the ventricle size change after shunt operation of normal-pressure hydrocephalus?
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether ventricular size correlates with a positive clinical outcome following shunt placement. Hydrostatic valves (Dual-Switch-Valves) were implanted in 80 patients with NPH at Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin between September 1997 and January 2002. One year postoperatively, these patients underwent computerized tomography scanning, and their ventricu...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging detects early brain microstructure changes before and after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with high intracranial pressure hydrocephalus
To explore the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in the quantitative assessment of early brain microstructure changes before and after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with high intracranial pressure hydrocephalus.Ten patients with communicating hydrocephalus (age: 2-36 months) and 14 age-/gender-matched controls (age: 2-36 months) were enrolled in this study. All patients ...
متن کاملNoninvasive prediction of shunt operation outcome in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a syndrome characterized by gait disturbance, cognitive deterioration and urinary incontinence in elderly individuals. These symptoms can be improved by shunt operation in some but not all patients. Therefore, discovering predictive factors for the surgical outcome is of great clinical importance. We used normalized power variance (NPV) of elec...
متن کاملOutcome of shunt operation on urinary incontinence in normal pressure hydrocephalus predicted by lumbar puncture.
Bladder function in four patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus, one with dementia of Alzheimer type and five patients with multi-infarct dementia was studied by history and urodynamic tests (cystometry and Bor's ice water test). The bladder hyperactivity could be temporarily improved by a lumbar puncture and removal of 50 ml CSF and later abolished by a shunt operation in patients with no...
