Intraventricular Pressure in Patients with Chronic Subdural Hematomas Before and After Evacuation of the Hematoma
Chronic subdural hematomas typically cause headache, dementia, and progressive neurologic signs such as hemiparesis and aphasia. Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure are uncommon. The incidence of papil...

Incidence and long term survival of children with intracranial tumours treated in Denmark 1935-1959
The total number of children under 15 years of age with intracranial tumours in Denmark during the years 1935-1959 was found to be 533. The average incidence was 21 new cases/106 children/year during the 25-year ...

Etiology of B-Waves
B-waves are observed in pressure recordings from the glaucomatous eye and the hydrocephalic brain. These pressure variations must be the result of changes in vascular volume. It is not known whether B-waves ar...

Predicting the Results of Ventricular Shunting in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus by Lumbo-Ventricular Perfusion Test
The syndrome of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) i.e. progressing dementia, gait disturbances and urinary incontinence is now a widely accepted clinical entity. Following the first optimistic reports about ...

Clinical Evaluation of a New Epidural Pressure Transducer
Measurement of intraventricular pressure (IVP) through a ventricular catheter is a well-known method and has the advantage of being a direct method. If the catheter and the transducer are placed correctly, the...

Colloid osmotic and hydrostatic pressures in chronic subdural haematomas
Intracranial pressure (ICP) has been measured in eight patients with chronic subdural haematomas (CSH) for 24 hours prior to and for 24 hours following evacuation of the haematomas. In all patients ICP was inc...

Computed tomography and pneumoencephalography compared to conductance to outflow of CSF in normal pressure hydrocephalus
The conductance to outflow of CSF (Cout) was measured in 66 patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). All patients were investigated with computed tomography (CT); 34 of the patients also had pneumoencep...

Computed tomography of benign supratentorial astrocytomas of infancy and childhood
The CT findings of 15 benign supratentorial astrocytomas in children less than 15 years of age are compared with the CT findings of 19 supratentorial tumors of other histological types in the same age group. A...

Isotope cisternography and conductance to outflow of CSF in normal pressure hydrocephalus
In 50 patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) the findings on lumbar isotope cisternography (ICG) were compared to the conductance to outflow of CSF (Cout) as measured by lumbo-ventricular perfusion. Th...

The conductance to outflow of CSF in adults with high-pressure hydrocephalus
The intraventricular pressure was compared with conductance to outflow of CSF (Cout) in 12 patients with high-pressure hydrocephalus of less than 3 months duration. Cout was measured by a lumbo-ventricular or a v...

Vasopressin Concentration in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Conductance to CSF Outflow in Benign Intracranial Hypertension and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) or pseudotumor cerebri is characterized by symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure without focal localizing signs. The patients present usually with headach...

Periventricular Lucency (Edema) in Computed Tomography and Conductance to CSF Outflow in Patients with High Pressure Hydrocephalus and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Periventricular lucency (PVL) in computerized tomography (CT) in hydrocephalus is now a well described neuroradiological entity. PVL is especially seen in the white matter surrounding the frontal horns of the ...

Severe headache as the only symptom of long-standing shunt dysfunction in hydrocephalic children with normal or slit ventricles revealed by computed tomography
Four patients aged 11, 11, 8 and 18 years, shunted in early childhood for hydrocephalus, were followed in the outpatient clinic for severe headache from 3 months to 2 years. The headache lasted for days and up...

Visual Evoked Potentials in Patients with Hydrocephalus or Intracranial Hypertension
Delay of visual evoked potential (VEP) latencies can be an early indicator of compressive lesions of the visual pathways (Halliday et al. 1976). The purpose of the present study was to examine whether ventricu...

CSF Outflow Resistance: No Current Model is Satisfactory
Increased resistance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption has been shown to be one of the causes of pathologically altered intracranial pressure dynamics, e. g. during hydrocephalus, meningitis and subarach...

Measurement of Conductance to Cerebrospinal Fluid Outflow by the Steady-State Perfusion Method in Patients with Normal or Increased Intracranial Pressure
Several methods have been used to examine cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, i. e. by infusion or perfusion studies (Ekstedt 1977, Børgesen and Gjerris 1982), particularly in hydrocephalic children and adults. Resi...
