Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Accompanied by Seizure: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The clinical features of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are characterized by cognitive impairments, gait disturbances, and/or urinary incontinence. These symptoms can also include seizures following a shunt placement but there is a lack of data regarding seizures as a presenting symptom in patients with iNPH. Thus, the present report describes a case of iNPH accompanied by seizures which resolved after the placement of a shunt.
