Osmolality of lumbar versus ventricular CSF. a The osmolality of lumbar CSF (L-CSF) versus ventricular CSF (V-CSF) in iNPH patients, n = 20. b The difference in lumbar versus ventricular osmolality in individual iNPH patients, with those with larger differences expanded in the right part of the panel. c The osmolality of lumbar CSF (L-CSF) versus ventricular CSF (V-CSF) in mini-pigs, n = 17. d The difference in lumbar versus ventricular osmolality in individual pigs, n = 17. The data were evaluated for statistical significance with the Wilcoxon test for the human data and with a paired t-test for the pig data. NS not significant
