Intraventricular Pressure Waves — the Best Predictive Test for Shunting in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Conference paper
Abstract
The response to shunting in patients with NPH is difficult to predict. We have reviewed 26 patients presenting with symptoms and signs of NPH, to compare the results of pre-operative tests with the outcome of surgery.
