Relationship between cerebrospinal fluid flow, ventricles morphology, and DTI properties in internal capsules: differences between Alzheimer's disease and normal-pressure hydrocephalus.

CONCLUSION: Although AD and NPH both involve CSF disorders, the two diseases do not have the same impact on the internal capsules. The magnitude of the ADC is related to the aqueductal CSF stroke volume in AD, whereas FA is related to ventricular volume in NPH. PMID: 24136984 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
