Adult Hydrocephalus and Disorders of CSF Dynamics

Dr. Benjamin Elder is a Professor of Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, and Biomedical Engineering at the Mayo clinic. He has an interest in better understanding idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). In collaboration with a team of neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuro-ophthalmologists and biomedical engineers, Dr. Elder is investigating improved imaging and functional diagnostic tests for the diagnosis and characterization of iNPH. Additionally, his group is working to develop new tools to assess and optimize the gait apraxia in patients with iNPH, and explore the clinical and functional outcomes of patients treated with CSF diversion procedures.
