Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders - Diseases of the Brain, Head . . . Since the cause of IIH is not known the treatments can only be directed at the phenotypic or characteristic expression of the disease, i e , drugs are given which may decrease CSF production or continually remove CSF through extracranial pathways and thus lower IP
New concepts in the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus - PMC The elimination of macromolecules results in the relief of hydrocephalus, which may be explained by the decrease in the osmotic load and the reduction of the macromolecules’ biological effect on the brain and CSF secretion
Hydrocephalus Flashcards - Quizlet Because of the enclosed space of the skull, signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) develop, such as: • even death caused by herniation Aqueductal stenosis • One of the most common causes of hydrocephalus is "aqueductal stenosis " ⁃ a small passage between the third and fourth ventricles in the middle of the brain
Pathogenesis and management of low-pressure hydrocephalus: A . . . The development of low-pressure hydrocephalus is believed to be associated with a decrease in the viscoelasticity of brain tissue or separation between the ventricular and subarachnoid spaces Risk factors for low-pressure hydrocephalus include subarachnoid hemorrhage, aqueduct stenosis, prior cranial radiotherapy， ventricular shunting, and
Hydrocephalus - Knowledge @ AMBOSS There are two types of true hydrocephalus: communicating hydrocephalus, which is caused by decreased CSF resorption or increased CSF production in the absence of CSF flow obstruction, and noncommunicating hydrocephalus, which is caused by the obstructed passage of CSF from the ventricles to the subarachnoid space
Hydrocephalus | Montefiore Einstein Neuroscience Center . . . Communicating hydrocephalus occurs when the flow of CSF is blocked after it exits the ventricles This form is called communicating because the CSF can still flow between the ventricles and the passages between them remain open
