T he diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) depends on symptom profile, presence of radiographic features, and the outcome of diagnostic tests. Although numerous techniques are used to identify patients who are likely to have NPH and various means are used to identify those patients most likely to respond to treatment, no definitive method exists to prove diagnosis. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion accomplished via placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is the most common treatment. The precise incidence of NPH is hard to determine, because the condition lacks a formal, consensus-based definition. Some physicians base the diagnosis strongly on radiographic evidence; another group of health care professionals relies more on clinical indications, and still others use a combination of signs and symptoms that they have found to be reliable. A rare cause of dementia, NPH primarily affects persons older than 60 years and is estimated to be the source of dementia in 5 percent or less of affected persons.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: What It Is and How It Is Treated What is normal pressure hydrocephalus? Normal pressure hydrocephalus (say: hi-dro-sef-uh-lus; or NPH for short) is a rare, but sometimes treatable, cause of dementia. It mainly affects people older than 60. It does not run in families. Sometimes it happens after a brain infection, such as meningitis. Other times, it happens after a brain injury. Often, it happens for no reason at all. What happens if I have NPH? With NPH, the fluid inside your brain doesn't drain as it should. Fluid usually is formed and stored inside special spaces in your brain. These spaces are called ventricles. Usually, there is a balance between the amount of fluid made and the amount of fluid taken away. When the fluid doesn't drain right, the ventricles get bigger and can press on nearby brain tissue. This pushing can change the shape of the brain a little bit. This change in shape can make you think slower, have trouble walking, and perhaps lose control of your bladder.

Congenital hydrocephalus is a buildup of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain that is present at birth. The excess fluid can increase pressure in the baby's brain, possibly resulting in brain damage and loss of mental and physical abilities. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, however, may prevent most of these serious problems, allowing a child to grow and develop normally. Minor problems, such as slight learning difficulties, may still occur. See an illustration of congenital hydrocephalus Approximately 3 to 4 of every 1,000 babies are born with congenital hydrocephalus. The condition also occurs in about 80% to 90% of children who are born with open neural tube defects Another form of hydrocephalus, called acquired hydrocephalus, may occur at any time after birth. This topic covers only congenital hydrocephalus.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Hydrocephalus November, 1997 The term hydrocephalus is derived from two words (HYDRO = water, CEPHALUS = head). Hydrocephalus is a condition in which too much cerebrospinal fluid accumulates within the ventricles of the brain and may increase pressure within the cranium. The condition may occur at any age. The human brain is encased within the skull of the cranium which provides it with significant protection. Inside the cranium, the brain floats in a sea of liquid, which is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fluid is constantly being produced in the brain and circulated around the brain and spinal cord in a regular pattern. The CSF is subsequently absorbed by mushroom-like structures over the brain called arachnoid villae, and is then returned to the bloodstream. The amount of CSF within the brain remains fairly constant; consequently, the water pressure which contributes to the overall pressure inside the skull - known as the

Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder most frequently seen in children, but it can also affect adults. Hydrocephalus results from the excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain. The word hydrocephalus derives from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "cephalus" meaning head. Although the condition has often been called "water on the brain," the fluid is actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is chemically different than water. This fluid is the liquid in which the brain floats. There are several cavities in the brain known as ventricles. These ventricles are filled with CSF, which is constantly produced inside the ventricles and circulates around the brain and spinal cord. The ventricles are arranged like a series of rooms connected by narrow hallways. The CSF passes from one room to the next through the hallways. It carries nutrients and proteins to the brain and transports waste products away from surrounding brain tissue. The average adult produces about one pint of CSF daily. When an injury or illness alters the circulation of the CSF, one or more of the ventricles becomes enlarged as the CSF accumulates. In infants and young children, whose skulls are not yet fused, the skull can enlarge to accommodate the excess fluid. The soft spot on an infant''s head (the fontanelle) can become firm as pressure develops. In an adult, however, the skull is rigid and cannot expand. In this case, the pressure in the brain may increase profoundly.

Hydrocephalus is a condition in which the primary characteristic is excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain. Although hydrocephalus was once known as "water on the brain," the "water" is actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) a clear fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The excessive accumulation of CSF results in an abnormal dilation of the spaces in the brain called ventricles. This dilation causes potentially harmful pressure on the tissues of the brain. Hydrocephalus may be congenital or acquired. Congenital hydrocephalus is present at birth and may be caused by genetic abnormalities or

Specialist Answers HYDROCEPHALUS IN CHILDREN Hydrocephalus Hydrocephalus is excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within brain cavities (Ventricles). CSF is produced in the ventricles and circulates through the brain and spinal cord before it is reabsorbed from the surface of the brain into the blood stream. When this pathway is blocked due to any reason, backpressure develops in the ventricles and results in hydrocephalus. CSF has many important functions viz. Nourishment, cushion like protection of the nervous tissue and to carry waste products away. Causes Congenital (present at birth) Hydrocephalus is caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environment factors. Aqueductal stenosis (narrowing) is the most frequent cause. Blockage of fourth ventricle outlet (Dandy Walker Syndrome) or Chiari malformations (in association with Spina Bifida) are other common causes.

The ventricular system is made up of four ventricles connected by narrow pathways. Normally, CSF flows through the ventricles, exits into cisterns (closed spaces that serve as reservoirs) at the base of the brain, bathes the surfaces of the brain and spinal cord, and then is absorbed into the bloodstream. CSF has three important life-sustaining functions: 1) to keep the brain tissue buoyant, acting as a cushion or "shock absorber"; 2) to act as the vehicle for delivering nutrients to the brain and removing waste; and 3) to flow between the cranium and spine to compensate for changes in intracranial blood volume (the amount of blood within the brain).
