Abstract
Since our CT scanner became available, we have studied six patients who were considered
on clinical and laboratory evidence to have normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). All
were shunted, with excellent clinical response. Characteristic CT features included
large lateral, third and fourth ventricles, absence of cortical sulci preoperatively
and low density periventricular crescents in some. These findings are compared with
those of other diseases with enlarged ventricles, and the change in the CT appearance
of NPH patients after shunting is reviewed.
