Abstract

Objectives:

To evaluate different radiological signs / findings of Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) in MRI, in patients with atleast 2 symptoms of hakim triad.
The role of different radiological signs in differentiating patients with NPH and patients without NPH
To rule out other closely related differential diagnosis for NPH.

Materials & Methods: This study was performed using 1.5 Tesla Philips D stream MRI machine. Imaging and clinical data of 50 patients with atleast 2 symptoms from Hakim triad from 2022-2018 were reviewed retrospectively and different radiological signs are evaluated for NPH.

Results & Conclusion: Out of 50 cases in our study, Small Callosal angle, Disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus, Wider temporal horns and idiopathic NPH RAD scale helps to differentiate, patients with NPH from patients without NPH. Out of all D/D, Alzheimer’s being most closely related D/D.
