Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus:Evaluation with Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Measurements at MR Imaging Radiology 198:523-529, Bradley,W.G.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract All 12 patients with CSF stroke volumes greater than 42 UL responded favorably to CSF shunting.Of the six patients with stroke volumes of 42 uL or less,three improved with shunting while three did not.The relationship between CSF stroke volume greater than 42 uL and favorable response to VP shunting was statistically significant(P<.05).There was no statistically significant relationship between aqueductal CSF flow void score and responsiveness to shunting.CSF velocity MR imaging is useful in the selection of patients with NPH to undergo shunt formation.
