    This study revisits normal pressure hydrocephalus as adult chronic hydrocephalus (ACH), analyzing literature and 243 patient cases. Shunt surgery yielded good results in 52.6% of patients with ACH.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) syndrome, now termed adult chronic hydrocephalus (ACH).
    • Integrates extensive literature review (518 references) with a 10-year, 243-case clinical series from French neurosurgical teams.
    • Examines pathological and pathophysiological data, including autopsy and biopsy findings, to understand ACH mechanisms.

    Purpose:

    • To consolidate current knowledge on adult chronic hydrocephalus (ACH).
    • To investigate the pathological and pathophysiological underpinnings of ACH.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in ACH patients.

    Summary:

    • Pathological findings reveal non-specific lesions (thickening, sclerosis, edema) and specific degenerative or ischemic lesions in ACH brains.

  • Mechanisms of progressive ventricular dilation despite low CSF pressure are explored, including trans-cerebral mantle pressure gradients.
  • CSF shunting was performed in 225 patients, achieving good/excellent results in 52.6%, with a 35% complication rate and 75% long-term survival.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive understanding of ACH, differentiating between causative and secondary brain lesions.
    • Highlights the role of specific parenchymal lesions and pressure gradients in ACH pathogenesis.
    • Offers valuable data on the surgical management and long-term outcomes of ACH, informing clinical practice and future research.
