Intracranial pressure (ICP) was monitored continuously for one night in 36 patients with suspected symptomatic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to identify patients who might benefit from subsequent shunting. In 33 of these patients middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity by means of transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) and ICP were recorded simultaneously. ICP B-waves always paralleled changes in the TCD signal (TCD B-wave equivalents). The relative frequency of ICP B-waves was predictable by TCD, albeit slightly underestimated due to a generally lower relative amplitude of the TCD B-wave equivalents. However, the same TCD B-wave equivalent amplitude could be accompanied by quite different ICP changes in different patients. Considering the baseline values in the absence of pressure waves, there was no significant relationship between ICP and TCD resistance index (Pourcelot) in different patients. Raising ICP by injection of 10 ml saline into the ventricle, however was accompanied by an increased TCD resistance index in the individual patient. As the relative frequency of B-wave activity is assumed to be an indicator for shunt responsiveness, continuous TCD monitoring can be used as a screening procedure to detect the presence and the relative frequency of B-wave activity in patients with suspected NPH. However, since neither the absolute ICP nor the amplitude of spontaneous oscillations can be predicted, TCD monitoring is not suitable to replace ICP monitoring.
