Adult hydrocephalus comprise a family of disorders characterized by a cerebrospinal fluid dynamic disturbance and a shared core symptomatology. Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) has gained an increasing scientific attention…
Adult hydrocephalus is a heterogeneous disorder with variable cognitive impairments among 4 subtypes: idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH), secondary hydrocephalus, unidentified congenital hydrocephalus, and transitional hydrocephalus. INPH is the most…
Adult hydrocephalus, especially idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), involves cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dysfunction that is associated with impaired waste clearance in the brain, potentially causing toxic protein buildup. This condition…
Monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) is important in a variety of neurologic conditions, including aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury. Monitoring and controlling ICP can mitigate secondary injury of the…
Adult hydrocephalus comprises 4 pragmatic categories: (1) transition; (2) unrecognized congenital; (3) acquired; and (4) suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. Each of these groups has unique clinical presentations and care…
Adult hydrocephalus is a common neurologic condition with an estimated prevalence of 85 per 100,000 globally, caused by abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulation within the cerebral ventricles. Subtypes include idiopathic…
The delivery of neurotrauma care exists in the context of a system addressing the continuum of injury from prevention to postacute care and community reintegration. Given this complexity, there is…
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a source of significant financial burden on the American health care system. Managing TBI can feel like a juggling act, but observing critical care…
Neuroprognostication is the prediction of patient neurorehabilitation and neurorecovery and can be challenging for severe traumatic brain injury patients due to limited objective data. Prognostic models can be utilized to…
Acute disturbances in cognition and consciousness are widely prevalent in neurologic intensive care units and have been associated with worse outcomes. Studies of critically ill patients with traumatic brain injuries…
