Impact of Early Intervention for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus on Long-Term Prognosis in Prodromal Phase

Impact of Early Intervention for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus on Long-Term Prognosis in Prodromal Phase

ObjectivesBecause the progression of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is partially irreversible, we hypothesized that early intervention would markedly improve its prognosis. To test this hypothesis, we retrospectively investigated the long-term prognosis of patients with early interv...
