> Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Management Paradigms and Controversies

Individuals with Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) has been touted as one of the few potentially curable causes of dementia. However, there is significant controversy about whether or not NPH even exists due to the heterogeneity in outcomes. This heterogeneity may be due to patient selection and heuristic errors rather than differences in surgical technique. This talk will address best practices in patient selection, subsequent management and future directions in the field.
