[Hydrocephalus complicated by a delirious condition].
A case of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NTH) complicated by delirious psychosis in the initial phase is described. A history of alcohol abuse made the diagnostic assessment difficult. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NTH) should be considered in cases of delirium with dementia and histories of disturbances of gait or incontinence of urine.
