Sumario:Normal-pressure hydrocephalus is a clinical syndrome that mainly targets the elderly population. It features dementia, impaired walking, and the malfunction of sphincters. The rapid identification and large-scale screening of patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) are of great significance as surgical interventions can greatly improve or even reverse the symptoms. This review aims to summarize the traditional parameters used to diagnose NPH and the emerging progression in neuroimaging of the disease, hoping to provide an up-to-date overall perspective and summarize the possible direction of its future development.
