Purpose: The follow-up routine for patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) after shunt surgery differs across medical centers. Shunt surgery is not without risks, with complications emerging at various times after the procedure. The aim was to explore the timing and methods of detecting complications following ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery for iNPH.

Cole-Carpenter syndrome (CCS) is a rare autosomal-dominant genetic disease characterized by craniosynostosis, ocular proptosis, hydrocephalus, distinctive facial features, and bone fragility. Previous cases of CCS are associated with genetic variations in P4HB, which encodes the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a key enzyme in protein folding. Patients with CCS caused by P4HB mutations often present with short stature, limb deformities, and abnormal epiphyseal plates.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequently complicated by permanent shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, but it is difficult to predict which patients are at highest risk.
Objective: This study seeks to identify novel variables associated with shunt dependency after aSAH and to create a predictive algorithm that improves upon existing models.
Methods: Retrospective case control design was used.

This case presents an unusual combination between an intraventricular meningioma and a choroid plexus papilloma. Intraventricular meningiomas are rare intraventricular tumors presenting with symptoms of hydrocephalus, headache, and neurological deficits. The rarity of choroid plexus papillomas is highlighted in medical diagnostics, with the majority of these findings being incidental within the setting of obstructive hydrocephalus.

: Post-hemicraniectomy patients often need extended intensive care treatment. While computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard for regular imaging, its frequent use could be linked to adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to assess bedside transcranial ultrasound (TUS) to capture intracranial anatomical structures and pathologies.
