Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2006
Object. 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

Frequency of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Archives of Neurology, 1989
To the Editor. —To our knowledge, epidemiologic studies concerning the incidence and prevalence of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) are not available and estimates of its frequency vary widely. The small amount of available data always refer to selected samples (most of all demented populations) and show frequencies ranging from 1% 1,2 ...

Cognitive Impairment in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a significant cause of the severe cognitive decline in the elderly population. There is no cure for iNPH, but cognitive symptoms can be partially alleviated through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion.
