This work presents a prospective morphological and quantitative analysis of 43 intracranial pressure recordings performed on normal pressure hydrocephalic patients. This analysis led us to separate Lundberg's B waves into different subtypes and to refine the definition of the 'Plateau' wave. Two B wave subtypes named Great Symmetrical wave and Intermediate wave appeared correlated with the surgical improvement. In addition, the degree of post-operative improvement was correlated with the frequency of Intermediate wave. An extended quantitative classification of intracranial pressure waves is proposed that can be used alone to determine which patients should undergo a shunting procedure and which one should the most improve.
这项研究对43例正常压力脑积水患者的颅内压记录进行了前瞻性形态学和定量分析。该分析使我们能够将伦德伯格B波分为不同亚型，并完善“高原”波的定义。两种名为大对称波和中间波的B波亚型似乎与手术改善相关。此外，术后改善程度与中间波的频率相关。本文提出了一种扩展的颅内压波定量分类方法，该方法可单独用于确定哪些患者应接受分流手术以及哪些患者改善最为明显。
