Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus on four-dimensional flow imaging.

• The CSF stroke volume and bimodal shear stress at the cerebral aqueduct were considerably higher in patients with iNPH. • The patients with pure iNPH had significantly higher shear stress at the ventral aspect of the cerebral aqueduct than those with co-occurrence of iNPH and AD. • The shear stress at the cerebral aqueduct was significantly associated with the diameter of the foramen of Magendie.
