[Decompensation of chronic internal hydrocephalus in an adult patient].

We report a rare case of decompensated chronic internal hydrocephalus in an adult patient. A 35-year-old woman experienced acute intracranial hypertension in 3 weeks after relief of postoperative inflammation in the oral cavity (tooth extraction). MRI revealed severe internal hydrocephalus.

[Use of phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging to quantify cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in patients with communicating hydrocephalus].

Objective: to determine differences in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow velocities in patients with varying degrees of communicating hydrocephalus (CH) versus a group of healthy volunteers without hydrodynamic disorders.

Material And Methods: The investigation enrolled 27 CH patients (17 and 10 patients with an Evans index of 0.31 and 0.
