Excerpt

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a potentially treatable movement disorder and is diagnosed when Evans’ index (EI) is greater than 0.3 [1, 2]. However, the most reliable biomarker of iNPH remains unknown and the diagnosis of iNPH has been regarded to be difficult for this reason. We describe a case of iNPH with EI of less than 0.3 presenting clinically as ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt–responsive gait abnormality. …
