Adult hydrocephalus is an insidious yet treatable condition that
develops slowly, with usual onset around 60 years of age. It is
poorly recognized and many cases are not diagnosed until late in
the course of disease, leading to poorer patient outcomes and a
high financial cost to healthcare providers. The resulting
neurological symptoms include gait/balance problems, loss of
bladder control, and a cognitive decline leading to dementia, which
is often mistaken for Alzheimer's disease. This book - the first
published on this topic since 1993 - provides comprehensive
guidelines to improve the speed and accuracy of diagnosis, and
covers various neurosurgical techniques used to treat the disease,
including the insertion of different types of shunts and endoscopic
third ventriculostomy. This is essential reading for neurologists,
neurosurgeons, family physicians, and radiologists who may well
encounter adult patients with hydrocephalus more often than they
realize.
