  • Title: [Idiopathic normotensive hydrocephalus. Neuropsychologic evaluation after ventriculo-atrial shunt].
    Author: Stefanova ED, Pavlović DM, Ocić GG.
    Journal: Srp Arh Celok Lek; 1992; 120(11-12):356-8. PubMed ID: 1340650.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus were assessed with Luria Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery, before ventriculo-atrial shunting and six months later. The best improvement was recorded in attention, visuospatial and intellectual functions. It is well documented that normal-pressure hydrocephalus dementia can be reversible if proper selection for neurosurgical treatment is made. Cognitive outcome of ventriculo-atrial shunting in normal-pressure hydrocephalus is best assessed with the appropriate neuropsychological testing.
