CHANGES OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID PRESSURE GRADIENT IN DIFFERENT BODY POSITIONS UNDER EXPERIMENTAL IMPAIRMENT OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID PATHWAY: NEW INSIGHT INTO HYDROCEPHALUS DEVELOPMENT

Changes of cerebrospinal fluid pressure gradient in different body positions under experimental impairment of cerebrospinal fluid pathway: new insight into hydrocephalus development

It is generally accepted that hydrocephalus is a consequence of the disbalance between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secretion and absorption which should in turn lead to CSF pressure gradient development and ventricular enlargement.To test CSF pressure gradient role in hydrocephalus development, we experimentally caused CSF system impairment at two si

Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome with Anorexia Nervosa: A Rare Case of Postprandial Vomiting in an Adolescent

Background: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is an underdiagnosed complication of acute, severe weight loss, usually seen among adolescents.Reduction of mesenteric fat causes SMA to compress the duodenum against the abdominal aorta.It is a known complication of restrictive eating disorder like anorexia nervosa (AN).Clinical Description: An
