Article
Intraventricular or lumbar infusion test in adult communicating hydrocephalus? Practical consequences and clinical outcome of shunt operation
Background. To investigate the therapeutic consequences of restricting the CSF dynamic evaluation to a lumbar infusion test (LIT), as opposed to our formerly applied intraventricular assessment (VIT), in patients...

Morbidity & mortality conferences — How can we do it?
Quality assurance is a very important aspect of daily life in a neurosurgical department as well as an important parameter for the neurosurgical patient. Quality assurance programmes of some sort are common bu...

Shunting to the Sagittal Sinus
To develop a shunt that drains CSF from the ventricles to the sagittal sinus under normal-physiological conditions. This shunting principle will not lead to any over-drainage, and a large proportion of the kno...

Shunting Effects in Patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Correlation with Cerebral and Leptomeningeal Biopsy Findings
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a potentially treatable syndrome with abnormal cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. Meningeal fibrosis and/or obliteration of the subarachnoid space have been suggested as one ...

Prognostic factors in oligodendrogliomas
An outcome analysis was performed on 96 patients with pure cerebral oligodendrogliomas operated in the 30-year period 1962 to 1991.

Article
Frequency and causes of shunt revisions in different cerebrospinal fluid shunt types
Shunt complications and revisions are common in hydrocephalic patients treated with a ventriculo-atrial or a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. The reported revision rate differs very much but the rate of revision i...

The effect of nimodipine on autoregulation of cerebral blood flow after subarachnoid haemorrhage in rat
Disturbance of the autoregulation of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) is frequently seen following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and is possibly partly caused by cerebral ischaemia. It is well-known, that the ca...

Risk of infection after cerebrospinal fluid shunt: An analysis of 884 first-time shunts
Postoperative infections are major complications of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in the treatment of hydrocephalus and other conditions with obstructed CSF circulation. In a retrospective study 884 first...

Assessment of CSF dynamics and venous flow in the superior sagittal sinus by MRI in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a preliminary study
A velocity-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phase-map** method was used for noninvasive study of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the cerebral aqueduct, for indirect calculation of supra-tentorial...

Article
Cerebrospinal fluid flow and production in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus studied by MRI
An interleaved velocity-sensitised fast low-angle shot pulse sequence was used to study cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the cerebral aqueduct, and supratentorial CSF production in 9 patients with normal pres...

Brain biopsy in AIDS. Diagnostic value and consequence
Nineteen male patients with AIDS were investigated by biopsy of brain lesions. Six patients had progressive multiple leucoencephalopathy and no specific treatment was given. Toxoplasmosis (two patients), bacte...

Prognostic parameters in benign astrocytomas
To elucidate the prognosis of different types of benign astrocytomas and to ascertain whether patients with partially resected benign astrocytomas, or any subtype of these, would benefit from postoperative rad...

Computerized Infusion Test Compared to Conventional Lumbo-Ventricular Perfusion for Measurement of Resistance to CSF-Outflow
While it is generally agreed that measurement of resistance to outflow of CSF (Rout) is valuable in the diagnosis of diseases associated with disturbances in the CSF-dynamics, the invasive character and practical...

Article
Computerized infusion test compared to steady pressure constant infusion test in measurement of resistance to CSF outflow
Resistance to cerebro-spinal fluid outflow is together with intracranial pressure the most important parameter in the investigation of patients with disturbances of CSF dynamics. The methods for determination ...

Cerebral blood flow autoregulation in experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage in rat
Haemodynamic instability is of great importance in clinical management of patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The significance of angiographically demonstrable vasospasm for disturbances of cerebral ...

Fracture of the lumbar vertebral ring apophysis imitating disc herniation
Three cases of fracture of the lumbar ring apophysis representing type I, II, and III are described in detail and the natural history of these fractures is discussed. The symptoms of apophyseal fractures are u...

Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and myelography in the diagnosis of recurrent lumbar disc herniation
Thirteen patients with recurrent symptoms after lumbar discectomy were evaluated. All the patients were enrolled in the study on the basis of clinical symptoms and signs only. The patients were examined with M...
