Dr. Benjamin Elder is a professor of neurosurgery at the Mayo clinic. He has an interest in better understanding idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). This disorder is characterized by impaired drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in older adults, leading to gait problems and imbalance, urinary incontinence, and cognitive dysfunction. 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. Some of his professional highlights include being Academic Editor, PLOS One, 2018-present, a temporary voting member, Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Devices Panel, Food and Drug
Administration, 2018, recipient of the 2017 Charlie Kuntz Scholar Award, Joint Section on
Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves, American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), and recipient of the 2017 Frank L. Coulson, Jr. Award for Clinical Excellence from The Johns Hopkins Hospital.JC
