Journal club: role of endoscopic third ventriculostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: preliminary results of a randomized clinical trial. [PDF]
1. Significance/Context and Importance of the Study: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) was first defined by Hakim and colleagues in 19651, and its symptoms later classified by the clinical triad of gait dysfunction, urinary incontinence ...

Finite element analysis for normal pressure hydrocephalus: The effects of the integration of sulci. [PDF]
Finite element analysis (FEA) is increasingly used to investigate the brain under various pathological changes. Although FEA has been used to study hydrocephalus for decades, previous studies have primarily focused on ventriculomegaly.

Gait Analysis of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a clinical syndrome associated with dementia, gait disturbance and urinary incontinence. Gait disturbance is usually the initial sign and most important symptom, but its objective evaluation has not been established.

MR diffusion changes in the perimeter of the lateral ventricles demonstrate periventricular injury in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Injury to the preterm lateral ventricular perimeter (LVP), which contains the neural stem cells responsible for brain development, may contribute to the neurological sequelae of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and post-hemorrhagic ...

Neuropsychological profile of young adults with spina bifida with or without hydrocephalus [PDF]
Objectives: To determine the relative impact of hydrocephalus and spinal dysraphism in young adults on intellectual and cognitive functioning. Sub-groups of patients with congenital hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida were assessed between 1995 and 2003.
