Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2007 Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological disorder characterized by a triad of symptoms: gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence. To date, the treatment of choice is cerebrospinal fluid diversion with a shunt. Because the clinical presentation of NPH mimics other neurological disorders, or can be perceived by healthcare ...

Cureus, 2023 Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) occurs when there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid due to impeded flow or excess production, resulting in gait and memory impairment and urinary incontinence. The authors present the case of a 67-year-old male, who had symptoms for a year prior to being diagnosed.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus [PDF]
Continuum, 2019 Since it was first described in 1965, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been a controversial subject. New studies have shed light on its epidemiology and pathogenesis and provided objective ways to measure outcome in patients with NPH. Neuroimaging has improved and allows better recognition of both NPH and the presence of overlapping diseases ...
