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.

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, 2020Since 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 ...

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 ...

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, 1973The 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.

The Neurobiology of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1993Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is an intriguing problem in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain parenchymal physiology. This article presents what is known about its pathophysiology as well as its clinical presentation and treatment.

Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2006Object. The diagnosis and management of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) remains controversial, particularly in selecting patients for shunt insertion. The use of clinical criteria coupled with imaging studies has limited effectiveness in predicting shunt success. The goal of this prospective study was to assess the usefulness of clinical

Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1987
The pathological changes in the brains of seven patients who had been clinically diagnosed as normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) are described and the possible etiological mechanisms are discussed. The pathological findings in all cases consisted of demyelination akin to Binswanger's type of encephalopathy, especially in the frontal lobes ...
