Bladder recovery relates with increased mid-cingulate perfusion after shunt surgery in idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus: a single-photon emission tomography study.

Aims Of Study: It is reported that severe bladder disorder in idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is predicted by right frontal hypoperfusion. However, it is not known whether bladder recovery is predicted by brain perfusion change after shunt surgery. To address this issue, we compared bladder and brain function before and after shunt surgery in iNPH.
