The investigators hypothesize that the Q-collar compression on bilateral internal jugular veins of patients with low pressure hydrocephalus will decrease venous drainage from the intracranial space, therefore increasing intracranial volume, decreasing brain compliance, and increasing CSF drainage through the shunt. This should improve persistent hydrocephalus symptoms and demonstrate improved ventricular drainage on imaging with decompressed ventricles.A teljes eredeti leírásKevesebb

Bevonási feltételek: adult with low-pressure hydrocephalus, able to cranial imaging, able to provide consent or have surrogate decision maker that is able to provide it for them.
Kizáró feltételek: pediatric patients, patients that can't consent or don't have a surrogate decision maker, patients that can't get cranial imaging.
