Producción Científica ; Hydrocephalus comprises a number of conditions characterised by clinical symptoms, dilated ventricles and anomalous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics. Infusion tests (ITs) are usually performed to study CSF circulation and in the preoperatory evaluation of patients with hydrocephalus. The study of intracranial pressure (ICP) signals recorded during ITs could be useful to gain insight into the underlying pathophysiology of this condition and to further support treatment decisions. In this study, two wavelet parameters, wavelet turbulence (WT) and wavelet entropy (WE), were analysed in order to characterise the variability, irregularity and similarity in spectral content of ICP signals in hydrocephalus. ; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (TEC2014-53196-R) ; Junta de Castilla y León (project VA059U13)
