Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a medical condition in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles. When there is excess fluid build-up in the ventricles, it pressures the nearby brain tissue. It leads to brain damage and problems in thinking, reasoning, walking, and loss of bladder control. It may develop due to bleeding, injury, surgery, or infection.
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Surgical Management
Normal pressure hydrocephalus occurs when the brain fails to reabsorb the fluid inside. This may cause problems with walking, cognition, and bladder control.
