Hydrocephalus Complicating Dementia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Dementia as a disorder has existed since time immemorial. Hydrocephalus cases were described by Hippocrates, Galen and several others who believed that extra cerebral accumulation of water caused it [1]. It was Salomon Hakim who first described the syndrome of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) in 1957[2]. Despite such vast evidence at the present time, there is dearth of literature regarding the cooccurrence of Dementia and subsequent NPH. Hence we present here, the case of a 67 year old teacher who suffered a similar event and eventually improved.
