Development and implementation of an ultralow-dose CT protocol for the assessment of cerebrospinal shunts in adult hydrocephalus

European Radiology Experimental, 2021
Background Cerebrospinal fluid shunts in the treatment of hydrocephalus, although associated with clinical benefit, have a high failure rate with repeat computed tomography (CT) imaging resulting in a substantial cumulative radiation dose.

Association between fetal brain diffusion‐weighted imaging and postnatal neurodevelopmental outcome after prenatal myelomeningocele repair

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with significant alterations of the brain microstructure, which can impair long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes. By measuring the random displacement of water molecules within the brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) can provide objective metrics, such as

Post‐mortem CT detection of fatal air embolism after aerosolized fibrin glue for bladder bleeding

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radiation‐induced hemorrhagic cystitis (RHC) is a severe complication of pelvic radiotherapy, often used to treat various pelvic malignancies. Despite multiple therapeutic options, including conservative and invasive interventions, the optimal management remains uncertain. We report the case of a 76‐year‐old male with pulmonary emphysema and a

Persistent headache after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: Prevalence, characteristics, and migraine history as a prognostic factor

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives/Background Persistent headache (PH) after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and the influence of migraine history (MH) on its evolution and prognosis is poorly understood. Our study aims are to (1) determine the prevalence, characteristics, and prognostic factors of PH after aSAH; and (2) study the impact of personal MH ...

Exploring Theory of Mind abilities in patients with probable idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits in patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition affecting motor, cognitive and autonomic functions. Given the overlap between ToM‐related neural networks and those affected in iNPH, we examined whether ToM impairments are a feature of the disease ...

IRRAflow active irrigation and drainage system: A glimpse into the future of cerebrospinal fluid shunts

Brain Hemorrhages
Chronic hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage may become inevitable, necessitating a permanent cerebrospinal fluid shunt. We report a 40-year-old woman with SAH and a CHESS score of 6.

Decrease of excessive daytime sleepiness after shunt treatment for normal pressure hydrocephalus

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleepiness and apathy are often reported in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. However, research on outcomes after shunt surgery has mainly focused on the classical triad symptoms, that is, gait, cognition, and bladder dysfunction. This study aimed to describe the effects of shunt treatment on excessive daytime sleepiness and whether ...
