Editat de Ondrej Bradac
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 noi 2023
This book provides a detailed practically focused guide on the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques available for normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).  Chapters in this work cover the latest developments related to this condition. It introduces how to use a range of diagnostic modalities including magnetic resonance scanning along with how artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies can be applied. Cases are presented to reinforce how the methods covered can be appropriately applied and guiding principles are also given to assist the reader in developing a thorough understanding of the topic. Potential complications and means of mitigating these are also described. 
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus is a detailed practically applicable resource on NPH with insightful contributions covering relevant aspects of pathophysiology, diagnostic modalities and treatment strategies, making it an ideal resource for all medical practitioners whoencounter these patients.
