Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
The diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) presents difficulties because of the same symptomatology in neurodegenerative diseases. The data of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and invasive techniques (tap test, external lumbar

A novel rat model to study the role of intracranial pressure modulation on optic neuropathies. [PDF]
Reduced intracranial pressure is considered a risk factor for glaucomatous optic neuropathies. All current data supporting intracranial pressure as a glaucoma risk factor comes from retrospective and prospective studies.

Cerebrospinal fluid pressure and the eye [PDF]
Cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) interacts with intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood pressure to exert a major influence upon the eye, particularly the optic nerve head region. There is increased interest regarding the influence of CSFP upon disorders affecting this region, in particular glaucoma and idiopathic intracranial hypertension ...

Non-invasive method and apparatus for monitoring intracranial pressure and pressure volume index in humans [PDF]
Non-invasive measuring devices responsive to changes in a patient's intracranial pressure (ICP) can be accurately calibrated for monitoring purposes by providing known changes in ICP by non-invasive methods, such as placing the patient on a tilting bed ...

Progressive cognitive impairment evolving to dementia parallels parieto-occipital and temporal enlargement in idiopathic chronic hydrocephalus: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Little is known regarding progressive enlargement of the ventricular system in symptomatic patients or asymptomatic subjects. Before eventual surgical treatment, we evaluated the clinical and radiological features of an extremely rare group of patients ...

Life‐Threatening Bradycardia in Anti‐NMDA‐Receptor Encephalitis and a Novel Use for Permanent Pacing
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (pNMDARE) is an autoantibody‐mediated disorder that can cause severe autonomic dysfunction, including symptomatic bradycardia and asystole. Dysautonomia can last for years, making it very challenging to manage.
