Coexisting clinical and CT findings of progressive supranuclear palsy and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Case report.
We report the case of a patient presenting clinical symptoms and signs of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). CT revealed the findings typical of both PSP and NPH. The possible pathogenetic mechanisms of the coexistence of these two diseases are briefly discussed.
