Clinical outcome of cerebrospinal fluid shunts in patients with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. [PDF]
World J Surg Oncol, 2019 Background Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) is frequently associated with hydrocephalus, which quickly devastates the performance of the patient. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt is a widely accepted treatment of choice, but the clinical outcomes in ...

Is simultaneous cranioplasty with cerebrospinal fluid shunts implantation as safe as staged procedures? [PDF]
Front Neurol, 2022 ObjectiveThe combination of cranioplasty and ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a therapeutic strategy for patients with hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy (DC). However, the efficacies of simultaneous vs.

Overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus shunts [PDF]
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2017 Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) in adults is an only known form of reversible dementia. Remedy is quite simple: insertion of a hydrocephalus shunt (or third ventriculostomy, however less common in NPH).

U-net based prediction of cerebrospinal fluid distribution and ventricular reflux grading [PDF]
arXivPrevious work indicates evidence that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a crucial role in brain waste clearance processes, and that altered flow patterns are associated with various diseases of the central nervous system. In this study, we investigate the potential of deep learning to predict the distribution in human brain of a gadolinium-based CSF ...

Distinct cerebral cortical perfusion patterns in idiopathic normal‐pressure hydrocephalus
Human Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 269-279, January 2023., 2023 The present study investigates cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cortical thickness using surface‐based analysis of early‐phase 18F‐florbetaben PET and MRI in patients with idiopathic normal‐pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). INPH patients had significantly increased CBF with a concomitant increase in cortical thickness in areas located in the high convexity ...

Low‐field MRI: Clinical promise and challenges
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 25-44, January 2023., 2023 Modern MRI scanners have trended toward higher field strengths to maximize signal and resolution while minimizing scan time. However, high‐field devices remain expensive to install and operate, making them scarce outside of high‐income countries and major population centers.

A Rare Case of a CSF Pseudocyst Mimicking a Complex Hepatic Cyst
Journal of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology, 2021 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) peritoneal pseudocysts are a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. They can manifest with symptoms of shunt malfunction or, more commonly, vague symptoms of abdominal discomfort such as pain or distention.
