Abstract: BACKGROUND Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) can be effectively treated through shunt insertion. However, most shunted patients experience little or no clinical benefit, which suggests suboptimal patient selection. While contentious, multiple studies have reported poorer… read more here.

Abstract: Syrinx can be secondary to many etiologies, including tumor, Chiari malformation, tethered cord, or sequelae of infection or trauma. Posttraumatic syringomyelia, a potential complication of spinal injury, can insidiously present years after the initial event.… read more here.
