Predictors 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 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...
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 کاملVentriculoperitoneal shunt in post tubercular hydrocephalus.
Prior to the availability of effective therapy, tubercular meningitis was invariably fatal with most of the deaths occurring within weeks of initial presentation. Although antimicrobial agents have improved the survival rates, serious sequelae are still common. With the advent of CT scan, hydrocephalus can be diagnosed early and neurosurgical intervention can improve the outcome in such subject...
متن کاملRole of endoscopic third ventriculostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: preliminary results of a randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Currently, the most common treatment for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS), generally with programmable valve implantation. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is another treatment option, and it does not require prosthesis implantation. OBJECTIVE To compare the functional neurological outcome in patients after 12 months of tre...
