Abstract

Idiopathic normotensive hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a disease that affects the elderly, characterized by the classic triad of gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and minor cognitive impairment or dementia, and cerebral imaging scans show the presence of ventriculomegaly and normal fluid pressure in the fluid c normal puncture. This disease must be in the list of differentiated diagnosis of patients presenting with the above manifestations. If the diagnosis of iNPH is confirmed, it should be treated at an early stage.
