What is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus? | With Garni Barkhoudarian, MD2 sep4 min

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) can cause symptoms of dementia, but these are reversible.

NPH is a neurological condition that occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain’s ventricles, causing them to enlarge. It most commonly affects older adults and can lead to a unique set of symptoms, including difficulty walking, problems with bladder control, and cognitive decline. Because its symptoms often overlap with those of other neurological conditions, NPH can be challenging to diagnose but is often treatable once identified.
