Direct carotid artery puncture for acute ischemic stroke: Local experience and systematic review
CONCLUSION: We describe the detailed procedure of the rare case of an emergency DCAP performed at our institution. DCAP provides an alternative treatment method in cases where thrombus removal access cannot be established through traditional methods.PMID:36113459 | DOI:10.1177/15910199221125094

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Clinical Symptoms, Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Metrics and White Matter Changes
Conclusions Patients with NPH, regardless of stages of the diseases, have increased ASV values and could benefit from shunting. Decreasing ASV values of patients with FG 3 comparing with those with FG 2 support the hypothesis of decreasing compliance of brain with aging and increasing severity of small-vessel disease.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Publication date: April 2016 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, Volume 37, Issue 2 Author(s): William G. Bradley Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a syndrome found in the elderly, which is characterized by ventriculomegaly and deep white matter ischemia (DWMI) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical triad of gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence. NPH has been estimated to account for up to 10% of cases of dementia and is significant because it is treatable by ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Patients with a known cause of chronic communicating hydrocephalus, that is, meningitis or ...

Bradley Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a syndrome found in the elderly which is characterized by ventriculomegaly and deep white matter ischemia (DWMI) on MRI and the clinical triad of gait disturbance, dementia and urinary incontinence. NPH has been estimated to account for up to 10% of cases of dementia and is significant because it is treatable by ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS). Patients with a known cause of chronic communicating hydrocephalus, ie, meningitis or hemorrhage, tend to respond ...

Dynamic State of Water Molecular Displacement of the Brain during the Cardiac Cycle in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been characterized as a chronic communicating hydrocephalus in elderly patients with the clinical triad gait disturbance, dementia, and incontinence [1–3]. The clinical symptoms of both secondary and idiopathic NPH (iNPH) can be reversed by the removal of the accumulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [3]. Secondary NPH can result in subarachnoid hemorrhage, trauma, and stroke. Although numerous investigations have attempted to clarify the underlying mechanism of and to diagnose iNPH, its exact causes remain poorly understood.
