What is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus?

For those unfamiliar, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles. While the name suggests 'normal' pressure, it can still lead to a range of symptoms including difficulty walking, cognitive changes, and urinary incontinence. It's a complex condition that requires careful management and treatment.
