title: The "reversible" dementia of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
abstract: Unstable gait, urinary incontinence, confusion. Most health care practitioners, including consultant pharmacists, immediately associate these problems with the signs and symptoms of vascular or Alzheimer's dementia. But, there also exists a small population of patients for whom these signs and symptoms are related to another-often curable-problem: idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).
