Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea as a primary presentation of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, management strategies, and clinical outcome.
Surg Neurol Int
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt.
Background: Causes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea could be divided into primary (spontaneous) and secondary (head trauma and iatrogenic). Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has emerged as a cause for spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea but is still underestimated, may be overlooked and needs special consideration in management. The objective of this study is to demonstrate spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea as the primary presentation of IIH and explore the algorithm of management.

Hydrocephalus, whether arising from post-hemorrhagic or post-traumatic origins, poses significant challenges in clinical management. Lumboperitoneal shunting (LPS) emerges as a viable therapeutic intervention, yet comparative analyses between these etiologies remain scarce. This retrospective study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of LPS placement in patients with post-hemorrhagic (PHH) and post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH).

December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Southern TOHOKU Research Institute for Neuroscience, Southern TOHOKU General Hospital, Koriyama, Fukushima, Japan.
Background: Rupture of the lumbar catheter in lumboperitoneal (LP) shunts is rare and typically occurs due to long-term mechanical stress. The authors describe an unusual case of early postoperative lumbar catheter severing after a fall on the buttocks.
Observations: A 78-year-old woman underwent LP shunt placement for communicating hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Psychotic behavior in normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Indian J Psychiatry
October 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, New Hope Hospital, Kilpauk, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) usually presents with progressive gait impairment, urinary incontinence, and cognitive deficits. Many studies have shown that NPH can mimic other disorders like Parkinson disease with tremors and rigidity. In this report, we present our experience with three patients who had psychotic behavior and were treated with psychiatric medications but were subsequently investigated and found to have NPH.

EClinicalMedicine
November 2024
Imperial Brain and Spine Initiative, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is commonly treated using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedures, most commonly ventriculoperitoneal (VP) but also lumboperitoneal (LP), ventriculoatrial (VA) shunting, and endoscopic third-ventriculostomy (ETV). Despite the prevalence of these interventions and recent advancements in iNPH diagnostic processes, there is limited up-to-date evidence regarding surgical outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to analyse the effects of CSF diversion surgeries among iNPH patients.
