Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine versus fentanyl as additives to bupivacaine in prolonging analgesia during lower limb surgeries under regional anesthesia.
- Results showed that dexmedetomidine significantly accelerated the onset of both sensory and motor blocks, while also extending the duration of postoperative analgesia compared to fentanyl.
- Both groups experienced minimal intraoperative hemodynamic changes and similar side effects, indicating that dexmedetomidine might be a more effective option for enhancing analgesia in this setting.
Background: Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a syndrome characterized by gait disturbance, dementia, urinary incontinence, and dilation of ventricular system with normal opening cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Idiopathic NPH (i NPH) presenting as psychosis is uncommon.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to describe idiopathic NPH presenting as Psychosis.
