The typical triad of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus in a 62-year-old male: a case report

Saudi Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a rare pathological condition of the brain where the cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the ventricles thus enlarged, but with normal opening pressure on lumbar puncture.

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).

Levels of inflammatory cytokines MCP-1, CCL4, and PD-L1 in CSF differentiate idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus from neurodegenerative diseases

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2023
Background Neuroinflammatory processes have been suggested to play a role in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, but have rarely been investigated in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Radiological predictors of shunt response in the diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2022
Background Patients with the dementia subtype idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) may improve clinically following cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion (shunt) surgery, though the predictors of shunt response remain debated.

Levels of selected pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with hydrocephalus

Folia Neuropathologica, 2017
Cytokines are widely known mediators of inflammation accompanying many neurodegenerative disorders including normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). NPH is caused by impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption and treated by surgical shunt insertion.
