  • Title: Giant cell arteritis and normal pressure hydrocephalus. A case report.
    Author: Girotti F, Lodrini S, Grassi MP, Allegranza A.
    Journal: Ital J Neurol Sci; 1984 Mar; 5(1):71-5. PubMed ID: 6735691.
    Abstract:
    The first known case of association of giant cell arteritis and normal pressure hydrocephalus is described. The arteritis was cured with corticosteroid therapy while hydrocephalus required ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. The high protein content of cerebrospinal fluid of this patient is probably the pathogenetic mechanism of cerebrospinal fluid block, leading to occult obstructive hydrocephalus.
