Structural neuroimaging markers of normal pressure hydrocephalus versus Alzheimer ’s dementia and Parkinson’s disease, and hydrocephalus versus atrophy in chronic TBI—a narrative review
ConclusionAlong with an up-to-date literature review on the structural neurodegeneration due to NPH versus AD/PD, and hydrocephalus versus atrophy in cTBI, this article sheds light on the potential of structural imaging markers as (differential) diagnostic aids for the timely recognition of patients with reversible (normal pressure) hydrocephalus, and opportunities to develop computational tools for their objective assessment.

Early prediction of ventricular peritoneal shunt dependency in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage patients by recurrent neural network-based machine learning using routine intensive care unit data
AbstractAneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) can lead to complications such as acute hydrocephalic congestion. Treatment of this acute condition often includes establishing an external ventricular drainage (EVD). However, chronic hydrocephalus develops in some patients, who then require placement of a permanent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. The aim of this study was to employ recurrent neural network (RNN)-based machine learning techniques to identify patients who require VP shunt placement at an early stage. This retrospective single-centre study included all patients who were diagnosed with aSAH and treated in t...

Can diffuse reflectance spectroscopy identify shuntodynia in pediatric hydrocephalus patients?
CONCLUSIONS: Optically derived hemodynamic variables were statistically significantly different in subjects presenting with shuntodynia relative to those without. DRS could provide a viable mode in routine bedside monitoring of subjects with VP shunts for clinical management and assessment of shuntodynia.PMID:38476219 | PMC:PMC10929735 | DOI:10.1117/1.JBO.29.3.037002 (Source: Pain Physician)

Measuring CSF shunt flow with MRI using flow enhancement of signal intensity (FENSI)
CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate the technique's applicability, accuracy, and potential for diagnosing and noninvasively monitoring hydrocephalus. Limitations of the current approach include a high sensitivity to motion and strict requirement of imaging slice prescription.PMID:38469904 | DOI:10.1002/mrm.30079 (Source: Magnetic Resonance in Medicine)

Spinal adhesive arachnoiditis after spinal anesthesia complicated by communicating hydrocephalus - A case report
CONCLUSION: AA is a challenging condition associated with inflammation and scarring of the arachnoid membrane. The development of hydrocephalus following epidural anesthesia, in this case, highlights a rare manifestation of arachnoiditis. Further research and documentation are needed to understand better the underlying mechanisms and risk factors contributing to hydrocephalus in the context of AA following epidural anesthesia.PMID:38468646 | PMC:PMC10927229 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_933_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
