Abstract
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is an uncommon and reversible pathology of unknown etiology since there is no theory that could fully explain the symptomatology. It is classified as idiopathic, the usual clinical presentation is with patients older than 70 years old along with Hakim’s triad and the secondary to a cerebral pathology that can happen at any age. The diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation, the measure of the cerebrospinal fluid pressure and ventriculomegaly in radiological images. It showcases a correlation with Alzheimer’s disease and they do not exclude each other. In the differential diagnosis it’s found dementias and urinary incontinence that are usual in advanced ages. The ventriculoperitoneal valve drain is still the first line of treatment.
