Classical findings of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) include:
Abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) gradually dilates the lateral ventricles of the brain. The gradual nature of ventriculomegaly allows for the CSF pressure to adapt and remain normal, hence normal pressure hydrocephalus.
CSF accumulation in the lateral ventricles puts pressure on adjacent cortical tissue and results in the triad listed above.
