Thanks! > I asked this to Dr. Bolognese recently, just to make sure that I had it right :-) Here was his response: Hydrocephalus size of the ventricles is increased CSF pressure is (generally) increased Pseudotumor cerebri size of the ventricles is very small CSF pressure is very increased Normal pressure hydrocephalus size of the ventricles is increased CSF pressure is generally low or normal. Minor entities: arrested hydrocephalus, slit ventricles, frozen ventricles. Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
