What Is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain’s ventricles, causing them to enlarge. This may affect walking, balance, memory, thinking, and bladder control. Dr. Aneel Kumar carefully evaluates symptoms, imaging findings, and cerebrospinal fluid testing to confirm the diagnosis. For appropriately selected patients, surgical treatment such as shunt placement may help drain excess fluid and improve symptoms and quality of life.
