Ⅰ.はじめに
筆者らは特発性正常圧水頭症(idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus:iNPH)における術前シャント効果判定の中で,髄液流出抵抗値 (cerebrospinal fluid outflow resistance value:Ro) を髄液循環障害の重要な判定因子と位置づけて測定してきた11).
今回,筆者らはiNPHの診断および治療後経過観察における統一基準作成事業(study of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus on neuro-logical improvement:SINPHONI)のオプションとしてRo施行基準が設定されたのを期にSINPHONIの施行基準でinfusion testを施行し,圧測定を従来の筆者らの頭蓋窮隆部硬膜外圧(convexity epidural pressure:EDP)11)とSINPHONIの腰部くも膜下腔髄液圧(lumbar subarachnoidcerebrospinal fluid pressure:L-CSFP)を同時測定して両者におけるRoの比較検討を行ったので報告する.
Purpose To compare the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow resistance values (Ro) with epidural pressure (EDP) monitoring and lumbar subarachnoid CSF pressure (L-CSFP) monitoring.
Subjects and methods The subjects were 14 patients with possible iNPH (age: 59-74years old,ratio of male and female 8:6). All the patients were subiected to an infusion test by a single bolus injection method (1ml/sec.,ΔV: 5 ml, t2: 2 min) as prescribed in the Standard of SINPHONI. EDP was monitored by continuous monitoring and the L-CSFP values By intermittent simple glass tube method (SINPHONI) were measured simultaneously. The Ro (RoEDP, RoL-CSFP) calculated from both methods, (1) the correlation of Ro and (2) the Ro threshold in a shunt effective group (E: nine cases) and a non effective group (NE, five cases) were compared.
Results (1) Although a favorable correlation was found between both Ro measurements (r=0.784), the RoEDP was always higher than the RoL-CSFP. (2) The mean Ro values in the E and NE groups were 36.8 ± 15.7 mmHg/ml/min, and 10 ± 2.05 mmHg/ml/min for Ro-EDP, 22.1 ± 13.95 mmHg/ml/min and 6.4 ± 1.7 mmHg/ml/min for RoL-CSFP, respectively. The approxilmate thresholds in the E and NE groups were 15 mmHg/ml/min for RoEDP and 10 mmHg/ml/min for RoL-CSFP.
Conclusion (1) Although the RoEDP is always higher than the RoL-CSFP, a favorable correlation is found between the RoEDP and RoL-CSFP, (2) The Ro thresholds of the E and NE groups in the infusion test are about 15 mmHg/ml/min for RoEDP and 10 mmHg/ml/min for RoL-CSFP. (3) After this, Ro calculation ought to execute by standard of SINPHONI and the Ro threshold of the E and NE groups is about 10 mmHg/ml/min.
