Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of neurofilament light protein correlate in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2023
Background Neurofilament light chain protein (NFL), a marker of neuronal axonal degeneration, is increased in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).

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 ...

Distal subgaleal-peritoneal shunt migration into the abdominal wall with subsequent formation of a pre-peritoneal pseudocyst: a rare complication. [PDF]

, 2010
Distal ventriculo-peritoneal shunt migration and extra-peritoneal CSF pseudocyst formation are unusual complications of shunt placement. We present a 65-year-old-female who received a subgaleal-peritoneal shunt to decompress a post-surgical subgaleal ...

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.

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.

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.

Microcephaly and macrocephaly. A study on anthropometric and clinical data from 308 subjects [PDF]

, 2019
Head circumference is the auxological parameter that most correlates with developmental anomalies in childhood. Head circumference (HC) two standard deviations (SD) below or above the mean defines microcephaly and macrocephaly, respectively.
