Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue is dedicated to exploring the latest advancements in the diagnosis and management of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a complex and often misunderstood neurological condition. Featuring a range of cutting-edge research articles, case studies, and expert perspectives, this special issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding and treatment strategies for iNPH. From innovative diagnostic techniques and imaging modalities to novel therapeutic approaches and patient management strategies, this issue offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients alike. By bringing together leading experts in the field, we strive to foster a deeper understanding of iNPH and to improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition.
