Advancements in Imaging Biomarkers for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Author(s): Clare Hastings*
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) in the ventricles
of the brain, leading to a triad of symptoms including gait disturbance, urinary incontinence and cognitive decline. NPH affects primarily elderly
individuals and it is often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed due to the overlap of symptoms with other age-related conditions such as Parkinson's
disease, Alzheimer's disease, or vascular dementia. Imaging plays a critical role in the diagnosis and management of NPH and a variety of imaging
markers have been proposed to aid in the differential diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. In this article, we will review the most commonly
used imaging markers for NPH, including Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers... Read More»
