Abstract

Colpocephaly, a cause of hydrocephalus, is characterized by disproportionately enlarged occipital horns of the lateral ventricles. It is rarely seen in the older adults. Few cases were reported as colpocephaly in elderly individuals in the literature. However, it has not been reported as idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus-like clinical presentation in older adults. To the best of our knowledge, the co-existence of colpocephaly and Alzheimer's disease has not been reported previously. In these respects, it is the first case in the literature.

期刊介绍： Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
