  • Title: [Syringomyelia and normal pressure hydrocephalus (author's transl)].
    Author: Otto H, Ullerich D, Löhr E.
    Journal: J Neurol; 1975; 208(4):299-308. PubMed ID: 50414.
    Abstract:
    A case of syringomyelia with coexisting hydrocephalus is reported and a pathogenic relationship between both conditions is discussed. Gardner proposed that anomalies at the exit of the fourth ventricle produce a communicating syringomyelia. Hakim and Adams maintain that normal pressure hydrocephalus can aggravate this condition by a hydraulic pressure effect which can be stopped by the insertion of a ventriculoatrial shunt with improvement in the clinical picture. This has been our experience in the case reported.
