Hydrocephalus Recognition and Treatment Video – Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Mark D. Johnson, MD, PhD, Director of the Adult Hydrocephalus Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital describes diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus is a disorder resulting from abnormal accumulation of spinal fluid in the chambers of the brain. The most common symptoms associated with hydrocephalus include, headaches, memory problems, walking difficulties and urinary incontinence. It’s been estimated that ten to 15 percent of all patients in nursing homes have normal pressure hydrocephalus, but the vast majority of those patients don’t know it.
The Adult Hydrocephalus Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital is investigating at several different areas of research pertaining to normal pressure hydrocephalus including factors associated with the development of the disease, impact of lifestyle, identification of disease biomarkers, development of new diagnostic tests and enhanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms of hydrocephalus.
