Pitfalls in the diagnosis of arrested hydrocephalus.

abstract：BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:Increased slow-wave activity in intracranial pressure (ICP) signifies an exhausted cerebrospinal compensatory reserve across a range of conditions. In this study, we attempted to describe synchronisation between slow waves of ICP and of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) variables during controlled el...
