Hydrocephalus Paper of the Month March 2025
“Quantitative brain stem assessment in discriminating neurodegenerative disorders from normal pressure hydrocephalus”
We are pleased to present this month’s interesting study, “Quantitative brain stem assessment in discriminating neurodegenerative disorders from normal pressure hydrocephalus” authored by:
Charalampos Georgiopoulos, Stergios Papadimitriou, Dag Nyholm, Lena Kilander, Malin Löwenmark, David Fällmar, Johan Virhammar.
The study “Quantitative Brain Stem Assessment in Discriminating Neurodegenerative Disorders from Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus” tackles the complex challenge of distinguishing idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) from neurodegenerative disorders like progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Multiple System Atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P), and vascular dementia (VaD). By employing quantitative metrics such as the midbrain to pons ratio and midbrain area, this research presents a promising avenue for enhancing diagnostic accuracy despite the difficulties posed by overlapping clinical and neuroimaging features. The findings reveal that these simpler indices offer high specificity in differentiating PSP from iNPH, thereby highlighting their potential as valuable tools in clinical practice. This innovative work not only deepens our understanding of neurological disorders but also encourages the pursuit of more effective, streamlined diagnostic strategies, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and outcomes in the field of neurology.

Hydrocephalus Paper of the Month February 2025
“Ventricular catheter tissue obstruction and shunt malfunction in 9 hydrocephalus etiologies”
We are pleased to present this month’s interesting study, “Ventricular catheter tissue obstruction and shunt malfunction in 9 hydrocephalus etiologies” authored by:
Maria Garcia-Bonilla PhD, Prashant Hariharan MS, MEng, Jacob Gluski MD, Miguel A. Ruiz-Cardozo MD, MPH, Ayodamola Otun MD, Diego M. Morales MS, Neena I. Marupudi MD, MS, William E. Whitehead MD, PhD, Andrew Jea MD, Brandon G. Rocque MD, MS, James P. McAllister II PhD, David D. Limbrick Jr. MD, PhD, and Carolyn A. Harris PhD.
Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder with an incidence of 80–125 per 100,000 births in the United States. The most common treatment, ventricular shunting, has a failure rate of up to 85% within 10 years of placement. The authors aimed to analyze the association between ventricular catheter (VC) tissue obstructions and shunt malfunction for each hydrocephalus etiology.
Hot off the press: February!
Call for abstracts!

Hydrocephalus Paper of the Month January 2025
Hydrocephalus Paper of the Month
We are pleased to present this month’s interesting study, “Real-Time 2D Phase-Contrast MRI to Assess Cardiac- and Respiratory-Driven CSF Movement in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus” authored Karki P, Murphy MC, Ganji S, Gunter JL, Graff-Radford J, Jones DT, Botha H, Cutsforth-Gregory JK, Elder BD, Jack CR Jr, Huston J 3rd, Cogswell PM.
This study explored cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) using real-time 2D PC-MRI at multiple intracranial locations. Patients with iNPH, Alzheimer’s disease and healthy controls were included. Measurements of CSF movement at the lateral ventricle were effective for differentiating the different groups. The authors conclude that evaluation of CSF biomarkers beyond the aqueduct may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of iNPH.
