Abstract
Objective

To determine the response to cognitive event-related potentials (P300) in patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and their relationship with clinical and cognitive status before and after shunt surgery.

Methods

We performed a prospective study in a series of 26 patients with NPH who underwent clinical and cognitive assessment before surgery and 6 months afterwards. Visual P300 potentials obtained before and after treatment were also compared with those obtained in 18 healthy volunteers.

Results

Before shunting, the P300 wave was detected in 11 (42.3%) NPH patients, compared with the 18 (100%) volunteers. Six months after shunting, the P300 wave was found in 20 (76.9%) NPH patients. P300 latency was significantly longer in NPH patients than in the control group before surgery, but not at 6 months after surgery. No significant differences in neuropsychological studies or in the level of dependence for daily life activities were found between the subgroups of NPH patients with and without presurgical P300 waves, or between changes in P300 parameters and clinical and cognitive changes.

Conclusions

The P300 wave was delayed or undetectable in a substantial percentage of patients with NPH before surgery. These alterations can be reversed by shunting. P300 analysis and neuropsychological tests could be complementary measures to evaluate functional status in patients with NPH.

Resumen
Objetivos

Determinar la respuesta a los potenciales evocados visuales (P300) en pacientes con hidrocefalia de presión normal (NPH) antes y después de la implantación de una derivación de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) y establecer su relación con la situación clínica y cognitiva antes y después del tratamiento quirúrgico.

Métodos

Estudio prospectivo en una serie de 26 pacientes con NPH a los que se realizó una valoración clínica y neuropsicológica y se analizó la P300 antes y 6 meses después del tratamiento quirúrgico. Los resultados de la P300 de los pacientes antes y después del tratamiento se compararon con los de un grupo control de 18 voluntarios sanos.

Resultados

Once de los pacientes con una NPH (42,3%) presentaron onda P300 antes del tratamiento quirúrgico, mientras que esta onda estaba presente en los 18 individuos del grupo control (100%). La latencia de la onda fue significativamente superior en los pacientes que en el grupo control. Seis meses después de la implantación de la derivación de LCR, 20 (76,9%) de los pacientes con NPH presentaron la onda P300, sin que hubiera diferencias significativas en las latencias de la onda entre ambos grupos. No hubo diferencias en los estudios neuropsicológicos y en el grado de independencia en la realización de las actividades de la vida diaria entre los pacientes que presentaron la P300 antes de la cirugía y los que no la presentaron, ni entre los cambios de la P300 y los cambios clínicos o cognitivos después del tratamiento quirúrgico.

Conclusiones

Un porcentaje importante de pacientes con una NPH no presentan onda P300 o su latencia está incrementada. Estas alteraciones pueden revertirse en muchos pacientes al implantar una derivación de LCR.
