Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) presents diagnostic and management challenges for clinicians.
  • Shunt surgery, a common treatment, involves significant risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide physicians with useful information on NPH management.
  • To address the difficulties in diagnosing and treating NPH.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiology, diagnostic challenges, and differential diagnoses.
  • Discussion of historical, examination, and neuropsychological assessment features.
  • Evaluation of radiologic findings and special tests for NPH.

Main Results:

  • Diagnostic uncertainty is a primary management hurdle.
