ABSTRACT. Action observation (AO) has been proved to be of benefit in several neurological conditions, but no study has previously been conducted in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of AO in iNPH patients. Methods: A single-grou...
Abstract.
Introduction: Normotensive hydrocephalus is a differential diagnosis in the evaluation of the dementia syndrome. The diagnostic protocols would allow detecting this pathology that has more effective treatment than other dementias. Objective: To describe a population with clinical suspicion of...
Introduction: The indication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is discussed in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), due to the heterogeneity of the response to treatment and the risks involved in neurosurgery. Objective: To search for clinical factors and complementary studi...

ABSTRACT The illustrious Colombian Professor Salomón Hakim provided the annals of neurology with one of the most brilliant and original bodies of research on record, developing the concept of normal pressure hydrocephalus, as well as proving that ventricular shunting is an effective treatment. Thus, Pro...
ABSTRACT Objective: The current study translated to Portuguese and validated the normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) scale originally developed in English as the Grading Scale for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Methods: Following Guillemin's validation protocol, the last version of the Portu...
