“…Compared with preoperative images, unchanged width of the ventricles despite clinical improvement is a common finding, and it is important to note that the width of the ventricles does not reflect the function of the CSF shunt. 82,83 Sometimes widening of the cortical fissures is more pronounced postoperatively (fig 3). The CT scan also reveals the location of the proximal (or ventricular) catheter, which should usually be in the right frontal horn (fig 3).…”

“…Zusammengefasst ist für die beobachteten Verschlechterungen v. a. auch das Fortschreiten der Erkrankung und der Nebenerkrankungen der Betroffenen ursächlich.Die klinische Besserung geht nur in sehr seltenen Fällen mit einer Abnahme des Evans-Indexes einher. In einer vorhergehenden Studie konnten wir sogar zeigen, dass ein besseres neurologisches Outcome bei iNPH-Patienten mit geringer oder gar keiner Änderung der Ventrikelweite nach Shuntimplantation erreicht wird[17]. Eine Zunahme der Ventrikelweite ist jedoch verdächtig auf eine Unterdrainage oder eine mechanische Ventilkomplikation.…”
