Abstract
- Thirty eight studies of r-CBF were executed on 14 hydrocephalus in pre- and post-operative states by 133Xe-inhalation method. In spite of the clinical improvement, the CBF in those who were checked within 3 days after the operation markedly decreased in all except one. In follow up studies, however, it showed prominently increasing tendency. Discussions were given on the hemodynamic changes in hydrocephalus.
