Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Review

Listen to this summary

This review examines idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a neurological disorder prevalent in older adults, characterized by gait impairment, cognitive decline, and urinary dysfunction. The authors aim to clarify the diagnosis and treatment of iNPH, highlighting the importance of early detection and the efficacy of cerebrospinal fluid diversion through shunt placement, which leads to significant symptom improvement in many patients.
