Evaluation of aqueductal CSF flow dynamics with phase contrast cine MR imaging in idiopathic intracranial hypertension patients: preliminary results.

Abstract

To our knowledge this study is the first CSF flow study in the idiopathic intracranial hypertension patients. We found a difference between the IIH groups and controls in mean rate and flow parameters. It was interesting that the mean rate and flow values of the untreated group that were higher than the controls. CSF flow analysis may be a marker to follow up IIH patients.
