Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological disorder that primarily affects older adults. It’s characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles, which can lead to a specific set of symptoms. Despite the name, the CSF pressure is often within the normal range, which can make diagnosis challenging. This comprehensive guide […]
Intracranial hypotension (IH) is a neurological condition characterized by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, often caused by spinal CSF leaks. Patients typically experience orthostatic headaches, nausea, and cognitive symptoms. While targeted interventions like epidural blood patches remain critical for persistent cases, conservative strategies play a vital role in initial management and symptom relief. This blog […]
Intracranial hypotension (IH) is a medical condition characterized by abnormally low pressure within the skull due to a reduction in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fluid is crucial for protecting the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and facilitating nutrient transport. When there is a decrease in CSF volume, it can lead to various neurological symptoms […]
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins that disrupt normal blood flow. These complex vascular anomalies can occur in various parts of the body, including the brain and spinal cord, and may lead to serious complications such as hemorrhage, neurological deficits, and chronic pain. Understanding how to prevent complications associated with AVMs […]
