Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a neurological disease which poses both diagnostic and therapeutic problems for the clinician. The measurement and characterisation of cerebral blood flow has been proposed as a tool for resolving such problems as well as elucidating its pathophysiology. We review the results of studies in which this tool has been applied to normal pressure hydrocephalus patients and consider the merits of the techniques that have been utilised. Finally, consideration is given to feasible future studies and the methods that could be employed in the study of cerebral blood flow and metabolism in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus.
正常压力脑积水是一种神经系统疾病，给临床医生带来了诊断和治疗方面的问题。脑血流量的测量和特征描述已被提议作为解决此类问题以及阐明其病理生理学的一种工具。我们回顾了将该工具应用于正常压力脑积水患者的研究结果，并考虑了所采用技术的优点。最后，探讨了未来可行的研究以及可用于研究正常压力脑积水患者脑血流和代谢的方法。
