The pathophysiology of chronic noncommunicating hydrocephalus: lessons from continuous intracranial pressure monitoring and ventricular infusion testing

J Neurosurg 129:220–233, 2018

The pathophysiology of chronic noncommunicating hydrocephalus (ncHC) is poorly understood. This present study explored whether lessons about the pathophysiology of this clinical entity might be retrieved from results of overnight monitoring of pulsatile and static intracranial pressure (ICP) and ventricular infusion testing.

METHODS The study cohort included adult…

Neuroscientist puts Neurological Case Study online for Open Source Medical Care

My name is Stephen Dolle. I am a neuroscientist, inventor, and drum circle facilitator, and I have decided to put my case study online because of a 23-yr battle with the disorder, hydrocephalus. I have undergone 12 brain shunt operations and numerous shunt malfunctions to date. I have been deteriorating physically with debilitating cramping, stiffness, muscle pain, and hematuria for 5 years now…
