There are many unknowns surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus and adult-onset normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

Patients and caregivers are encouraged to ask questions, gather information, and network with others who have experienced similar challenges. Learning about symptoms, diagnostic testing, treatment options, and what to expect can help patients and families feel more informed and prepared throughout their care journey.

Because every patient’s experience with hydrocephalus is different, it is important to work closely with a healthcare professional to understand individual needs and determine an appropriate approach to care.
