Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurologic syndrome characterized by enlarged cerebral ventricles identified on imaging which may result in cognitive, gait, and urinary symptoms. Symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus may mimic or co-exist with other neurologic conditions such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease. Conversely, enlarged ventricles may be clinically asymptomatic, and may be seen in the setting of older age or other neurodegenerative conditions.
