Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus is a chronic steadily progressing disease. Nowadays a vital and acute socially
significant problem still has not been solved. The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease remain so far poorly understood. Variable
clinical manifestations, as well as difficulties in differential diagnosis with other neurodegenerative diseases - lead to unde r-

this problem is of great interest for a broad circle of medical professionals
