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.
正常压力脑积水是一种主要影响老年人群的临床综合征。其特征为痴呆、行走障碍和括约肌功能障碍。由于手术干预可显著改善甚至逆转症状,因此快速识别和大规模筛查正常压力脑积水(NPH)患者具有重要意义。本综述旨在总结用于诊断NPH的传统参数以及该疾病神经影像学方面的新进展,希望提供一个最新的全面观点,并总结其未来可能的发展方向。
