Predictors and outcomes of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in patients with aneurysmal sub-arachnoid hemorrhage

BMC Surgery, 2012
Background Hydrocephalus following spontaneous aneurysmal sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is often associated with unfavorable outcome. This study aimed to determine the potential risk factors and outcomes of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in aneurysmal ...

Nonsurgical treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus by face-down positioning: Report of four cases

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020
Background: Transient obstructive hydrocephalus is a rare condition. Previous case reports have described spontaneous resolution of obstructive hydrocephalus, although the entire mechanism has not yet been clarified.

Hereditary hydrocephalus internus in a laboratory strain of golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus)

Animal, 2008
Golden hamsters of one common laboratory strain had a high incidence of hydrocephalus internus. When a severity score of hydrocephalus was used, a major autosomal recessive locus could be identified.

Molecular Mechanisms and Risk Factors for the Pathogenesis of Hydrocephalus

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition due to the aberrant circulation and/or obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow with consequent enlargement of cerebral ventricular cavities.

Sensitivity of physiotherapy-based clinical tests in detecting change in gait and balance performance following a 50 mL CSF tap test in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background Cerebrospinal fluid tap test (CSF TT) is a key predictive method commonly used to identify candidates for shunt surgery in idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH), however, the sensitivity of this procedure is limited.

Levels of selected pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with hydrocephalus

Folia Neuropathologica, 2017
Cytokines are widely known mediators of inflammation accompanying many neurodegenerative disorders including normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). NPH is caused by impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption and treated by surgical shunt insertion.

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: associations between CSF biomarkers, clinical symptoms, and outcome after shunt surgery

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background The neurochemical alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) associated with the typical symptomatology in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and their association with outcome after shunt surgery are unsettled.

Clinical, Histopathological, and Molecular Characterization of Pediatric MN1::ZNF341‐Associated Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A lethal round‐cell malignancy with an MN1::ZNF341 fusion has recently been reported in three infants. Here, we describe four further tumors, three in newborns (including monozygotic twins), and one in an adolescent. Detailed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data differentiate these tumors from their main mimics, neuroblastoma and

Outcomes of the 2019 hydrocephalus association workshop, "Driving common pathways: extending insights from posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus"

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2023
The Hydrocephalus Association (HA) workshop, Driving Common Pathways: Extending Insights from Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus, was held on November 4 and 5, 2019 at Washington University in St. Louis. The workshop brought together a diverse group of basic,
