The APOE Genotype in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
INTRODUCTION Amyloid plaque has been reported in brain biopsies from patients with idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and proposed as a significant feature of the pathophysiology. Presence of the apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) allele is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). AIMS To compare the distribution of APOE genotype in iNPH patients with an age-matched...
متن کاملIdiopathic 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 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 ...
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...
