Who We Are
The Johns Hopkins Adult Hydrocephalus and IIH Center is the largest regional treatment center of its kind in the Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C., area. Our doctors treat a large number of patients affected by normal pressure hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) sometimes called Pseudotumor Cerebri (PTC).
Treatment Center of Choice
Our team of experienced and skilled neurologists and neurosurgeons are experts at identifying and diagnosing either of these brain conditions. Our treatment program has high success rates, with few complications, and makes us the treatment center of choice for both normal pressure hydrocephalus and IIH.
Rigorous Interdisciplinary Care
Our team of experts, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-ophthalmologists and rehabilitation specialists work closely together in a rigorous, interdisciplinary fashion. Using their combined expertise, advanced imaging and modern monitoring methods, our team offers the best answer to the treatment of these brain conditions.
Further, being a part of the greater Johns Hopkins team gives our specialists an array of treatment options for other neurological conditions that may become apparent during the initial evaluation for normal pressure hydrocephalus or IIH.
Experience and Expertise
Normal pressure hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are complicated conditions to diagnose, as both mimic other neurological diseases. Many of our patients have seen several other doctors before they find our specialized team at the Johns Hopkins Adult Hydrocephalus and IIH Center. Our experience and expertise make us the best possible treatment center for the resolution of both these conditions.
The neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuro-ophthalmologists on our team have the most experience evaluating and diagnosing normal pressure hydrocephalus and IIH in the Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., area. Our specialists are able to recognize immediately when a potential case has the hallmark of either of these two conditions. Our doctors are able to detect both conditions when their symptoms and signs are masked by other confounding neurological conditions, and make swift and deliberate recommendations for further evaluation and treatment. Further, the rigorous interdisciplinary medicine we practice insures our patients they have the broadest range of treatment options available.
Our team of expert neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuro-ophthalmologists are world renowned and are considered pioneers in the field of treating these conditions. Our doctors have dedicated their careers to the treatment and resolution of normal pressure hydrocephalus and IIH in their patients. Our doctors hold patents for the design of new valves for the surgical treatment of normal pressure hydrocephalus and IIH.
