The surgical results obtained with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt operation in 13 patients considered to be suffering from normal pressure hydrocephalus have been correlated with the findings of the constant manometric infusion test (IT) and of prolonged intracranial pressure recordings. A positive IT, high amplitude CSF pulse pressure and large transitory increases of CSF pressure during sleep seem to be useful criteria for the surgical prognosis. Ten more patients affected by primary cerebral atrophy have also been studied. The data obtained in both groups of patients have been utilized for a possible pathogenetic interpretation of the syndrome.
对13例被认为患有正常压力脑积水的患者进行脑脊液（CSF）分流手术所取得的外科手术结果，已与恒压测压输液试验（IT）的结果以及长时间颅内压记录的结果进行了关联分析。阳性IT、高幅度脑脊液脉压以及睡眠期间脑脊液压力的大幅短暂升高，似乎是手术预后的有用标准。另外还对10例原发性脑萎缩患者进行了研究。两组患者所获得的数据已被用于对该综合征进行可能的病因学解释。
