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...

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.

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...

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 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...

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition, CBF autoregulation, and ICP in patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus
Fourteen patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus had the autoregulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and intracranial pressure (ICP) investigated. In 8 of the patients the effect of Captopril on ICP and CB...

The Acute Effect of Nimodipine on Intracranial Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow
In acute stroke it has been shown that the calcium antagonist PY 108-068 induces a slight increase in mean cerebral blood flow (CBF) in some cases with a concomitant flow reduction in focal ischemic areas [8]....

Do concentrations of neurotransmitters measured in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid reflect the concentrations at brain level?
CSF concentrations of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), cholecystokinin (CCK), noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) were measured in the lateral ventricles and at the lumbar level in patients with norma...

Glucocorticoid receptors in glioblastoma multiforme: A new approach to antineoplastic glucocorticoid therapy
Glucocorticoid receptors were measured in tissue samples from 12 patients with glioblastoma multiforme. The receptor was found in all patients. The concentration of glucocorticoid receptor was found to be high...

Absence of hydrocephalus in spite of impaired cerebrospinal fluid absorption and severe intracranial hypertension
Four patients are described presenting papilloedema, increased pressure and reduced CSF absorption—caused by either spinal tumours, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or encephalitis. Remarkably they all had a norm...
