Issue Date: | 1991 | Journal: | Acta neurochirurgica | Abstract: | From January 1989 to September 1990 fourteen patients with the Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) syndrome were diagnosed in our Service. All patients were studied by CT-Scan, Radionuclide Cisternography and brain Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). In this series, the predictive value of the brain SPECT was assesed. A statistically significant relationship between SPECT patterns and clinical outcome was found. The patients who showed a Dementia Alzheimer Type (DAT) pattern on SPECT had worse results. The results are discussed and compared with those reported by other authors. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/74113 | ISSN: | 0001-6268 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF01405132 | Source: | Acta Neurochirurgica [ISSN 0001-6268], v. 112 (3-4), p. 88-91, (1991) |
