Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2006Object. The diagnosis and management of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) remains controversial, particularly in selecting patients for shunt insertion. The use of clinical criteria coupled with imaging studies has limited effectiveness in predicting shunt success. The goal of this prospective study was to assess the usefulness of clinical

Diagnosing Idiopathic Normal-pressure Hydrocephalus
Neurosurgery, 2005The precise incidence and prevalence of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is not known, and evidence-based clinical diagnostic criteria have not been developed previously. This report contains evidence-based guidelines for clinical diagnosis of INPH that are intended to facilitate future epidemiological studies of INPH, promote earlier ...

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Tijdschrift voor psychiatrie, 2018Hydrocephalus is characterized by overaccumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the cerebral ventricles due to a mismatch between CSF production and CSF resorption into systemic circulation [1]. While many forms of hydrocephalus are associated with raised intracranial pressure (ICP) [2, 3], some patients have clinical and radiologic signs of ...

No shinkei geka. Neurological surgery, 2013This observational study aimed to explore the pathophysiology of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of CSF biomarkers.Lumbar CSF of patients with iNPH and healthy elderly individuals (HI) and ventricular CSF (VCSF) from the patients with iNPH pre and 6 months postsurgery were analyzed by ...

Cognitive Impairment in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a significant cause of the severe cognitive decline in the elderly population. There is no cure for iNPH, but cognitive symptoms can be partially alleviated through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion.

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Neurosurgery Quarterly, 2011The syndrome of idiopathic normal pressure hydro- cephalus was first described in 1965, but 45 years later controversies still exist with regard to its cause, progression, differential diagnosis, and best treatment strategies. Its incidence may be underestimated and its importance increasing because of the aging population.

Frequency of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Archives of Neurology, 1989To the Editor. —To our knowledge, epidemiologic studies concerning the incidence and prevalence of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) are not available and estimates of its frequency vary widely. The small amount of available data always refer to selected samples (most of all demented populations) and show frequencies ranging from 1% 1,2 ...

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and systemic hypertension
Neurology, 1987Nineteen patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) were treated with intraventricular shunts. Ten of the 14 who improved and 14 of the total group had systemic hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in both the improved and whole NPH groups was significantly greater than in a control group with dementia (N = 122) and the ...

Familial Occurrence of Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus
Archives of Neurology, 1984Shunt-responsive normal-pressure hydrocephalus developed in a 67-year-old man and in his 74-year-old sister. To our knowledge, a familial association in this disorder has not been reported previously.
