melatonin and Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure

melatonin has been researched along with Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure in 4 studies

Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure: A form of compensated hydrocephalus characterized clinically by a slowly progressive gait disorder (see GAIT DISORDERS, NEUROLOGIC), progressive intellectual decline, and URINARY INCONTINENCE. Spinal fluid pressure tends to be in the high normal range. This condition may result from processes which interfere with the absorption of CSF including SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, chronic MENINGITIS, and other conditions. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp631-3)

" In communicating hydrocephalus, the function of the tela choroidae could be impaired by infectious or inflammatory processes; while in schizophrenia a physiologic disorder of cerebrospinal fluid production due to a melatonin deficiency may result in dilated ventricles."7.67The pathophysiology of enlarged ventricles in normal pressure communicating hydrocephalus and schizophrenia: a possible therapeutic role for melatonin.
