Clinical Trial Summary

Hydrocephalus is characterized by excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain. One of the forms of hydrocephalus is called "normal pressure", although one of the main signs is precisely an alteration of the intracranial pressure (ICP), it is here called active hydrocephalus (HA). Although MRI is the reference radiological modality for the characterization of HA. The Evan's and DESH index are radiological diagnostic criteria based on the dilation and morphology of the CSF compartments. These morphological indices remain insensitive and specific. In recent years, advances in Phase Contrast (MRI-PC) and Diffusion (MRI-DTI) MRI have generated new biomarkers of brain viability. The aim of this study is to characterize by MRI the impact of hydrocephalus on brain fluids and tissues.
