Arterial blood pressure vs intracranial pressure in normal pressure hydrocephalus.
OBJECTIVE To characterize the association between arterial blood pressure (ABP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients, and its impact on outcome of shunt surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed all 35 iNPH patients whose ABP and ICP were recorded simultaneously during 6 years (2002-2007). The static and pulsatile pressures were averaged...
متن کاملMacrocephaly, increased intracranial pressure, and hydrocephalus in the infant and young child.
Macrocephaly, increased intracranial pressure, and hydrocephalus are common related conditions that lead to cross-sectional imaging of the infant and young child. Imaging plays a central role in establishing the diagnosis and guiding disposition and treatment of these patients. In this review, a general overview is provided, and the more common causes of hydrocephalus are presented, including p...
متن کاملIncreased intracranial volume: a clue to the etiology of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The etiology of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that NPH begins in infancy as benign external hydrocephalus due to decreased uptake of CSF by the arachnoid villi. Since this occurs before the sutures fuse, a secondary hypothesis is that the intracranial volumes of patients with NPH should b...
متن کاملIncreased Intracranial Pressure
After closure of the cranial fontanelles and sutures by 2 to 3 years of age, the skull is a rigid container of fixed volume. The intracranial contents constitute the brain bulk (80%), blood volume (10%), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (10%). According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, intracranial volume is equal to the volume of the brain bulk, blood, CSF, and other mass lesions. Therefore, an incr...
