Diagnosing Idiopathic Normal-pressure Hydrocephalus
The precise incidence and prevalence of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is not known, and evidence-based clinical diagnostic criteria have not been developed previously. This report contains evidence-based guidelines for clinical diagnosis of INPH that are intended to facilitate future epidemiological studies of INPH, promote earlier ...

Shunting for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) occurs when the brain ventricles expand, causing a triad of gait, cognitive, and urinary impairment. It can occur after a clear brain injury such as trauma, but can also occur without a clear cause (termed idiopathic, or iNPH). Non-randomised studies have shown a benefit from surgically diverting ventricular fluid to

Freezing of gait in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Background Reports of freezing of gait (FoG) in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are few and results are variable. This study’s objective was to evaluate the frequency of FoG in a large cohort of iNPH patients, identify FoG-associated ...

Pathogenesis and pathophysiology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), the most common type of adult‐onset hydrocephalus, is a potentially reversible neuropsychiatric entity characterized by dilated ventricles, cognitive deficit, gait apraxia, and urinary incontinence ...

Familial idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]
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 ...

Surgical treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (literature rewiew)
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a pathological condition characterized by ventricular expansion in combination with normal intracranial pressure and manifested by a specific triad of symptoms, including gait disorders, cognitive disorders and urinary ...

Shunting for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To determine the effect of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting versus no CSF shunting in people with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).
