Its diagnosis is difficult, and some patients experience several shunt revisions until the proper solution is found.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors present a patient who developed acute deterioration due to iatrogenic NePH after surgery for a vertebral artery thrombosed giant aneurysm. The deterioration occurred after the insertion of a lumbar drain by which the authors intended to reduce a postoperative subcutaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection. The drainage created an unexpected negative-pressure gradient in the CSF spaces, which resulted in NePH. Interventions, such as extraventricular drainage and blood patch, corrected the negative transmantle pressure and stabilized the patient\u2019s condition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Because the pathophysiology of NePH is theoretically considered to be caused by negative transmantle pressure, the intervention should be performed in order to deal with the coexistence of obstruction in the CSF pathways and a CSF leak. A blood patch would be an effective option in treating the CSF leak when the site of leakage is certain. This is the first case in which a blood patch was effectively applied in the treatment for NePH with a favorable outcome without any permanent CSF diversion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]],"date-time":"2021-01-29T15:32:20Z","timestamp":1611934340000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Negative-pressure hydrocephalus in the course of a complex postoperative intracranial pressure disturbance: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Tomoya","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Japan Red Cross Medical Center, Tokyo, Japan;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shogo","family":"Kaku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, National Hospital Organization Yokohama Medical Center, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kostadin","family":"Karagiozov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuichi","family":"Murayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1031","DOI":"10.3171\/2011.6.JNS101504","article-title":"Negative-pressure and low-pressure hydrocephalus: the role of cerebrospinal fluid leaks resulting from surgical approaches to the cranial base","volume":"115","author":"Filippidis AS","year":"2011","unstructured":"Filippidis AS, Kalani MY, Nakaji P, .
