Medical Conditions - Nph

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.
