DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2021.06.017
Abstract: BACKGROUND Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) can be effectively treated through shunt insertion. However, most shunted patients experience little or no clinical benefit, which suggests suboptimal patient selection. While contentious, multiple studies have reported poorer… read more here.
