Abstract
Idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a reversible syndrome of gait impairment, dementia, and incontinence that affects persons over 65 years of age.(1) Currently, the only effective treatment is surgical implantation of a shunt(2); however, the need for pharmacologic adjunctive treatments was noted at the 2005 NIH workshop on hydrocephalus.(3.)
