A Coronal Hydrocephalic Index (Eo Index) for Predicting Shunt Responsiveness in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-ChirurgicaThe cerebrospinal fluid tap test is commonly used to select shunt candidates in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; however, it is invasive and has limited predictive value, as a substantial proportion of patients who tested positive on tap test do
