“Hydrocephalus-parkinsonism complex”: progressive hydrocephalus as a factor affecting extrapyramidal tract disorder—an experimental study
To experimentally clarify the symptomatological and pathophysiological aspects of a newly proposed clinical entity, we produced an experimental rat “hydrocephalus-parkinsonism complex” model.

A new experimental model of obstructive hydrocephalus in the rat: the micro-balloon technique
We used three types of specialized micro-balloons 0.7–1.35 mm in outer diameter instead of kaolin to develop a reproducible rat model of hydrocephalus with a low experimental mortality. The micro-balloon was ...
