Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Symptoms
Pressure created in the brain from the build-up of cerebrospinal fluid produces three basic symptoms in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus:

  • Difficulty walking
  • Mild dementia
  • Impaired bladder control

Because these symptoms are also characteristic of other aging disorders and dementias, NPH can be difficult to diagnose.
