Resting-state functional-MRI in iNPH: can default mode and motor networks changes improve patient selection and outcome? Preliminary report

Sara Fabbro et al.

Summary: This study investigated the functional circuits related to idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) using cerebrospinal fluid dynamics evaluation and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The results showed alterations in default-mode network (DMN) and motor network (MN) in iNPH patients. After the tap test, significant improvements were observed in the connectivity of these functional circuits. The findings suggest that rs-fMRI could serve as a non-invasive biomarker for iNPH, aiding in surgical decision-making.

Clinical applicability of arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging in patients with possible idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: A prospective preliminary study

Daniele Bagatto et al.

Summary: The study aims to assess the qualitative evaluation agreement of ASL CBF colored maps between different neuroradiologists and by correlating these data to the Tap Test. The results show that ASL-MRI seems to be a promising non-invasive technique in the preoperative selection of patients affected by possible iNPH.

Summary: This systematic literature review aimed to identify brain CT and MRI features that could be used to discriminate iNPH shunt responders from non-responders. The results showed that no brain imaging parameters were consistently and repeatedly reported as different between the two groups.

Measurements of cerebrospinal fluid production: a review of the limitations and advantages of current methodologies

Guojun Liu et al.

Summary: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a critical component of the central nervous system, providing protection and transport functions. However, there is limited knowledge about its production rate and the impact of diseases on CSF dynamics. This review aims to highlight the importance of quantifying CSF production and inspire the development of more accurate and less invasive measurement techniques.

Cerebrospinal fluid micro-volume changes inside the spinal space affect intracranial pressure in different body positions of animals and phantom

Marijan Klarica et al.

Summary: The study found that changes in spinal cerebrospinal fluid volume significantly affect intracranial cerebrospinal fluid pressure, but regardless of whether the volume is increased or decreased, the hydrostatic pressure difference between the measuring sites remains constant.

Direction and magnitude of cerebrospinal fluid flow vary substantially across central nervous system diseases

Per Kristian Eide et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant variations in CSF flow measures among patients with different CSF disorders, with changes in direction and magnitude of CSF flow. The grading of ventricular tracer reflux shows promise as a clinical useful method to assess CSF flow pattern disturbances in patients.

Clinical predictors of shunt response in the diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Santhosh G. Thavarajasingam et al.

Summary: Intraparenchymal ICPM is found to be statistically the most effective diagnostic test for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), followed by ELD, IT, and TT. TT and IT are recommended for initial screening due to their accessibility, with ICPM as a follow-up for negative cases. Future research should aim for standardized methodologies and criteria for better comparison.

Transient acute hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and aneurysm embolization: a single-center experience

Ivan Jovanovic et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the rate of transient acute hydrocephalus in patients with aSAH treated endovascularly and evaluate its predictive factors. A new risk score, DOTAHAS score, was constructed to differentiate patients with TAH from those needing surgical interventions. The study identified older age, poor initial clinical condition, aSAH from posterior circulation, and extent of hemorrhage as independent risk factors for acute hydrocephalus. Patients with higher DOTAHAS scores had a significantly higher risk for external ventricular drainage placement. Further evaluation of the score is needed.

Summary: The study found significant changes in the number, size, and distribution of arachnoid granulations in the superior sagittal sinus and surrounding cranial bones over a lifetime. However, not all individuals have arachnoid granulations in the dural sinuses, raising questions about their role in cerebrospinal fluid physiology.
