Abstract

AIM: The purpose of this prospective study was to describe memory problems of adult patients with hydrocephalus. MATERIAL and METHODS: The research group consisted of healthy adults (control group) and hydrocephlic adults (hydrocephalus group). The hydrocephalus group (n: 19) had no clinical signs or symptoms of increased intracerebral pressure. The control group (n:20) was chosen from healthy adults. Both groups were evaluated by an experienced neuro-psychologist blinded to the groups. The examiner performed a battery of three different neuropsychological tests (Raven Standart Progressive Matrices, RSPM; Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, RCFT; and Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, AVLT) to all groups. RESULTS: Almost all subtest scores of the AVLT and RCFT remained significant after the RSPM scores were controlled. Almost all neuropsychological test results of the hydrocephalus group were significantly worse than control group. CONCLUSION: This prospective study showed that adult patients with hydrocephalus have serious problems in memory function which might be directly caused by the hydrocephalus.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu prospektif çalışma, şant ile tedavi edilmiş yetişkin hidrosefali hastalarının hafıza kusurlarını incelemek üzere oluşturulmuştur. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇ: Çalışmanın araştırma grubu sağlıklı yetişkinlerden (kontrol grubu; n: 19) ve klinik olarak artmış kafa içi basıncına ait semptom ve bulgusu olmayan hidrosefalik yetişkin hastalardan (hidrosefali grubu; n: 20) oluşturulmuştur. Her iki gruba, deneyimli bir nöropsikolog tarafından üç farklı nöropsikolojik testten oluşan bir test bataryası uygulanmıştır (Raven Standart Progressive Matrices, RSPM; Rey- Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, RCFT; and Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, AVLT). BULGULAR: Hidrosefali grubu üyeleri tüm testlerde (zeka puanlarının da etkisi kontrol edildiği halde) kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı düzeyde düşük puanlar almışlardır. SONUÇ: Bu çalışma sonuçları şant ile tedavi edilmiş yetişkin hidrosefali hastalarının hafıza alanında belirgin sorunlar yaşadığını ortaya koymaktadır.
