Infusion Studies for idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Subspecialty: Hydrocephalus
Type: Clinical Summary
Educational content sponsored by Joint Operations, the official distributor of LiquoGuard 7: Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a disorder of ventricular enlargement with complex cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)–vascular interactions; impaired CSF absorption and altered intracranial compliance contribute to gait impairment, cognitive decline and urinary symptoms, and these pathophysiological abnormalities are the targets of CSF diversion by shunting. This review synthesises three decades of bedside CSF infusion tests experience and a recent multicentre series combining infusion metrics with imagi…
