Pulsatility in CSF dynamics: pathophysiology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Conclusions
The pulsatility curve was not modified by shunt surgery, while the baseline position was shifted along the curve. Observed differences between gait improvers and non-improvers support cardiac related ICP pulsations as a component of INPH pathophysiology.
