Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, 2016
#### What you need to know A 74 year old man describes problems with his balance and walking for a year. His family say he is increasingly forgetful, and he has had urinary incontinence recently. He is referred to neurology, where a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain reveals ventriculomegaly in the absence of substantial sulcal atrophy ...

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

The Neurologist, 2006
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a reversible disorder characterized by gait impairment, subcortical dementia, and urinary urgency and incontinence associated with impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation and ventriculomegaly. Treatment with shunt surgery is most likely to increase mobility, and may also improve dementia and urinary symptoms.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Continuum, 2019
Since it was first described in 1965, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been a controversial subject. New studies have shed light on its epidemiology and pathogenesis and provided objective ways to measure outcome in patients with NPH. Neuroimaging has improved and allows better recognition of both NPH and the presence of overlapping diseases ...

Neuroimaging of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus and Hydrocephalus

Neurologic Clinics, 2020
Since the clinical syndrome of progressive gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and dementia in the setting of occult hydrocephalus responsive to cerebrospinal fuid (CSF) shunting was first reported in 1965, the existence of a potentially reversible cause for a form of a dementia illness has generated extensive clinical research and numerous ...

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

2014
Although it has been nearly 50 years since its first description of clinical and radiological, there is considerable uncertainty about the diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus because it shares the semiotics with the group of dementias. Hakim’s triad (impaired gait, initially type clumsiness of the lower limbs followed over time by inability to ...

NORMAL PRESSURE HYDROCEPHALUS

The Neurologist, 1999
Doctors find the management of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) difficult because their diagnosis often is uncertain and the treatment with shunt surgery carries a significant risk. With the aim of bringing to the attention of physicians the useful, but largely anecdotal, information available regarding this problem, this article discusses the ...

The Electroencephalogram in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Archives of Neurology, 1973
The electroencephalogram was normal in over 50% of 11 patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. When present, abnormal records had a variety of changes, usually seen against normal background rhythms. Third ventricular dilatation, by itself, is not a cause of bursts or projected rhythms in the EEG.
