Despite the normal mean intracranial pressure in normal pressure hydrocephalus, the cerebral ventricles enlarge. Many hypotheses exist as to why, and these have lately been investigated in simulation.

CONCLUSIONS Reference ranges for the measurement of the intracranial ventricles in preterm infants from 23 to 33 weeks' GA are provided and can be used in the diagnosis and assessment of ventricular ...

More commonly associated with babies, adults too can experience this condition that can have various symptoms.

TGFβ is increased in the CSF of infants with posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and those who go on to require ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery have higher concentrations than those ...

Objective Patients with single ventricle can develop aortic-to-pulmonary collaterals (APCs). Along with systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunts, these structures represent a direct pathway from systemic ...

Cerebrospinal fluid can sometimes leak or collect in the brain without an identifiable cause, leading to symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose.

Hydrocephalus, a neurological condition marked by the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain’s ventricles, presents significant clinical challenges. Traditional ...

CSF is made of water, proteins, sugars, ions and neurotransmitters. It is primarily produced by a network of cells called the choroid plexus, which is located in the brain’s ventricles, or cavities.

In nearly all cases, it results from impaired CSF absorption. Rarely, hydrocephalus occurs from excess CSF production. One presentation of communicating hydrocephalus is that of normal pressure ...

Background and objective Prior studies have suggested that patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) may have an ...

Anticipated to expand from $1.09 billion in 2024 to $1.19 billion in 2025, the sector exhibits a compound annual growth rate CAGR of 9.1%. The growth momentum during the historic period is a ...
