Addenbrooke’s has launched a one-stop, multidisciplinary clinic to help identify and treat people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and other cerebrospinal fluid disorders. NPH is caused by an abnormal build-up of fluid in the brain, and leads to memory loss, poor balance, and bladder problems. It typically affects people over 65 and is often mistaken

“One of the more important aspects in brain metabolism is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation. CSF is a brain fluid secreted as an ultrafiltrate by the choroid plexus. It has a very intricate physiology and is involved in hydrodynamic, metabolic and immunological aspects. The pathophysiology of CSF is equally complex and one of the main

“We are delighted to announce our specialist multidisciplinary clinic for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders, established as part of the REVERT project. The clinic, held at Addenbooke’s Hospital and led by Mr Alexis Joannides, will involve the wider REVERT clinical team which we are progressing with recruiting. This will include a nurse consultant, clinical psychologist and
“For the past few months, the REVERT team at Obex Technologies has been developing software for the Hydrocephalus Management Portal, which will bring together onto a digital platform the many elements of the normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) patient pathway. Scoping meetings with key partners have helped enormously to develop the project brief and detail the

“Our neurosurgery team at Brest University Hospital are participating in the REVERT project to study intracranial pressure, which supports the diagnosis of hydrocephalus. This is a frequently discussed topic in neurosurgery consultations. We have already been developing a study protocol for the diagnosis of hydrocephalus in partnership with the Neurology Department for several years. This
