Abstract
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus causes a triad of gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence in the elderly. All these symptoms may manifest as age-related functional decline or from neurological and non-neurological diseases common in the elderly. In idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, characterized by ataxic-ataxic gait, subcortical dementia, and urge urinary incontinence, it is clinically important to consider these characteristic features. This overview describes the symptomatology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
