Cognitive Impairment in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022Idiopathic 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.

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Neurosurgery Quarterly, 2011The syndrome of idiopathic normal pressure hydro- cephalus was first described in 1965, but 45 years later controversies still exist with regard to its cause, progression, differential diagnosis, and best treatment strategies. Its incidence may be underestimated and its importance increasing because of the aging population.

Frequency of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Archives of Neurology, 1989To 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 ...

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and systemic hypertension
Neurology, 1987Nineteen patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) were treated with intraventricular shunts. Ten of the 14 who improved and 14 of the total group had systemic hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in both the improved and whole NPH groups was significantly greater than in a control group with dementia (N = 122) and the ...

Familial Occurrence of Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus
Archives of Neurology, 1984Shunt-responsive normal-pressure hydrocephalus developed in a 67-year-old man and in his 74-year-old sister. To our knowledge, a familial association in this disorder has not been reported previously.

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
2012Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is characterized by the clinical triad of gait disturbance, cognitive dysfunction, and urinary symptoms, observed in the context of enlargement of the cerebral ventricular system. Mean age of onset is approximately 60 years, which complicates the diagnosis since there is the potential for multiple age ...

Surgical Management of Idiopathic Normal-pressure Hydrocephalus
Neurosurgery, 2005Abstract OBJECTIVE: To develop evidence-based guidelines for surgical management of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). Compared with the diagnostic phase, the surgical management of INPH has received less scientific attention. The quality of much of the literature concerning the surgical

[Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus].
Praxis, 2009Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by the classic triad of symptoms including gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and dementia. Gait impairment represents the cardinal symptom. NPH is associated with a radiological verifiable ventriculomegaly in the absence of elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure.

Natural course of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2013The natural course of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) has not been thoroughly studied. The consequences of postponing shunt treatment are largely unknown. We aimed to describe the effects of waiting for more than 6 months before surgery and to compare the outcome with that seen in patients who waited for less than 3 months.33 patients ...
