Advances in the management of patients with hydrocephalus and other abnormalities of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and intracranial pressure have come from a variety of sources including an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of the various subtypes of the problem, development of alternative methods of treating the condition without reliance on implantable shunting devices, use of neuroendoscopy, and the development of newer types of shunt valves. The purpose of this review is to put into perspective the relative importance of each of these advances to the overall management of our patients.
脑积水及其他脑脊液动力学和颅内压异常患者管理方面的进展来自多种来源,包括对该问题各种亚型病理生理学的深入理解、开发不依赖植入式分流装置的替代治疗方法、神经内镜的应用以及新型分流阀的研发。本综述的目的是正确看待这些进展中的每一项对我们患者整体管理的相对重要性。
