Treatment for secondary deterioration in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus in the later course of the disease: a retrospective analysis.

abstract：:Modern neuro-imaging techniques have significantly increased the accuracy of stereotactic procedures and have thereby generated a renewed interest in guided brain surgery. This paper describes the neuroradiological aspects of stereotaxic target calculation (x-, y-, z- coordinates) using the Riechert-Mundinger (Fisher)...
