Popis: Predicting outcome following shunt placement in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) remains problematic, especially for those individuals without a known cause for the hydrocephalus. A variety of tests have been devised to assess CSF absorption and intracranial dynamics and aid in patient selection. Some reports have also suggested improved results from monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP). We present our series of 45 patients evaluated prospectively for possible NPH, with specific reference to evaluation of CSF conductance and ICP monitoring in a group of patients with primarily idiopathic NPH.
