    Normal pressure hydrocephalus can manifest as secondary mania. Neurosurgical intervention effectively treated this presentation, highlighting the importance of considering neurological causes for psychiatric symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological condition characterized by abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation.
    • NPH classically presents with a triad of gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and cognitive impairment.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient whose primary presentation of normal pressure hydrocephalus was secondary mania.
    • The patient exhibited psychiatric symptoms preceding or overshadowing the typical NPH triad.

    Findings:

    • The patient's manic symptoms significantly improved following neurosurgical intervention, specifically cerebrospinal fluid shunting.
    • This response suggests a direct link between NPH and the observed secondary mania.

    Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of including neurological assessments in the differential diagnosis of secondary mania.
  • Effective management of NPH can lead to resolution of associated psychiatric disturbances, improving patient outcomes.
