Improvement in the long-term care burden after surgical treatment of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a supplementary study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a surgically treatable syndrome commonly observed in older adults. However, it is unclear whether clinical improvements after surgery can effectively reduce the long-term care burden (LTCB).

Application of Evans Index in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Patients: A Mini Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
With an ever-growing aging population, the prevalence of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is increasing. Clinical symptoms of NPH include cognitive impairment, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence.

Progressive cognitive impairment evolving to dementia parallels parieto-occipital and temporal enlargement in idiopathic chronic hydrocephalus: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Clinical Features of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Critical Review of Objective Findings

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, 2022
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is characterized by the classic clinical triad of gait, cognitive, and urinary dysfunction, albeit incomplete in a relevant proportion of patients. The clinical findings and evolution of these symptoms have

Fluid Distribution Pattern in Adult-Onset Congenital, Idiopathic, and Secondary Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus: Implications for Clinical Care

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
ObjectiveIn spite of growing evidence of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a viewpoint about clinical care for idiopathic NPH is still controversial.

Clinical predictors of shunt response in the diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesActa Neurochirurgica, 2021
Positive shunt response (SR) remains the gold standard for diagnosing idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). However, multiple pathologies mimic iNPH symptoms, making it difficult to select patients who will respond to shunt surgery.

Idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Medical Association Journal, 2019
Although the complete triad is not seen in all cases, idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus is characterized by gait dysfunction, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence. These symptoms, however, are frequently encountered in older adults without the condition.[1][1] The onset of ...

New experimental model of acute aqueductal blockage in cats: effects on cerebrospinal fluid pressure and the size of brain ventricles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
It is generally assumed that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is secreted in the brain ventricles, and so after an acute blockage of the aqueduct of Sylvius an increase in the ventricular CSF pressure and dilation of isolated ventricles may be expected. We have

Prevalence and development of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: A 16‐year longitudinal study in Japan

open access: yesActa Neurologica Scandinavica, 2022
We previously investigated the preclinical state of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH): asymptomatic ventriculomegaly with features of iNPH on magnetic resonance imaging (AVIM) found in community inhabitants.
