... nonresponders had greater frontal lobe dysfunction. We also explored whether a relationship exists between FAB scores and gait disturbance in idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) patients. Methods: INPH subjects were selected in a consecutive order from a prospectively enrolled INPH registry. Fifty...

... with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), 11 patients with multi-infarct dementia (MID) and 10 patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Patients with NPH were reinvestigated 3 months after a ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation. DSIP, PYY and SOM levels in CSF were decreased in patients with NPH compared...

... pressure monitoring. Continuously increased pressure extending over 1 or more days was observed in these patients. This pressure increase may seem different from the episodic pressure increase previously reported in normal-pressure hydrocephalus. These patients seem to be cases of so-called normal-pressure...

...Ullrich Meier; Alexander König; Christoph Miethke Despite emerging knowledge of over 40 years, the postoperative results after shunt implantations in patients diagnosed for normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) have not improved significantly in the last decade. For this reason, predictors have...

...Ullrich Meier; Philip Bartels Objective: The intrathecal infusion test is a reliable method for diagnosing normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Methods: Between May 1982 and January 1997, we investigated 200 patients suspected of having NPH by carrying out an intrathecal infusion test...
