Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a potentially reversible neurodegenerative disease commonly characterized by a triad of dementia, gait, and urinary disturbance. Advancements in diagnosis and treatment have aided in properly identifying and improving symptoms in patients. However, a large proportion of iNPH patients remain either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Using PubMed searc...
متن کاملIdiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus in neurological practice
Background: We have previously seen that idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients havingelevated intracranial pressure (ICP) pulse amplitude consistently respond to shunt surgery. In this study weexplored how the cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) pulse amplitude determined during lumbar infusion testing,correlates with ICP pulse amplitude determined during over-nig...
متن کاملIs normal pressure hydrocephalus becoming less idiopathic?
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has posed a challenge to neurologists for 5 decades. Difficulties in understanding its pathophysiology have hindered efforts to diagnose it and to develop a better approach to selecting patients for shunt surgery. We know that many patients with NPH have CSF absorption difficulty as measured by resistance to CSF outflow (Rout). The problem is that many with n...
متن کاملCognitive Profile of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
BACKGROUND/AIMS Frontal lobe dysfunction is believed to be a primary cognitive symptom in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH); however, the neuropsychology of this disorder remains to be fully investigated. The objective of this study was to delineate a comprehensive profile of cognitive dysfunction in iNPH and evaluate the effects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt surgery on cogni...
متن کاملGlymphatic MRI in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
The glymphatic system has in previous studies been shown as fundamental to clearance of waste metabolites from the brain interstitial space, and is proposed to be instrumental in normal ageing and brain pathology such as Alzheimer's disease and brain trauma. Assessment of glymphatic function using magnetic resonance imaging with intrathecal contrast agent as a cerebrospinal fluid tracer has so ...
