Cognitive Processing Speed Assessment Combined With Gait Performance Improves Prediction of Shunt Surgery Responsiveness in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
Overview of the study workflow illustrating baseline assessment of cognitive function and gait performance in patients with iNPH, followed by CSF tap test and post‐tap test reassessment. Functional improvement rates were calculated based on pre‐TT performance, with 24 h selected as the optimal assessment time point.

Familial idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2016
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a late-onset surgically alleviated, progressive disease. We characterize a potential familial subgroup of iNPH in a nation-wide Finnish cohort of 375 shunt-operated iNPH-patients. The patients were questionnaired and phone-interviewed, whether they have relatives with either diagnosed iNPH or disease ...

Prevalence of Schizophrenia in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus [PDF]

Neurosurgery, 2018
Abstract BACKGROUND Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive and potentially treatable neurodegenerative disease affecting elderly people, characterized by gait impairment and ventricular enlargement in brain imaging. Similar findings are seen in some patients with schizophrenia (SCZ).
