Our Approach to Treating

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Find a Doctor & Schedule 646-929-7950

Doctors at 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 are skilled at diagnosing and treating people who have normal pressure hydrocephalus, an accumulation of spinal fluid in the brain that causes enlargement of the fluid spaces in the brain, called ventricles. This can lead to walking problems, cognitive impairment, and impaired bladder control.

Because the condition commonly affects people over the age of 60 and its symptoms often resemble conditions associated with the aging process, normal pressure hydrocephalus can be difficult to diagnose. 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 neurologists are experts at recognizing this condition. They work together with neurosurgeons, rehabilitation specialists, physical and occupational therapists, and social workers to develop a treatment plan designed to restore a person鈥檚 independence.

Doctors at 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 also diagnose and manage pediatric hydrocephalus.

Treatment for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 physicians alleviate brain dysfunction caused by normal pressure hydrocephalus through surgical implantation of a shunt system鈥攁 small device placed in the skull that drains spinal fluid away from the brain and into the body, where it can be absorbed.
