Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus with Primary Presentation of Psychiatric Disturbance: Case Report.

Background And Objective:  Progressive impairment of cognitive function is a common feature seen in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Along with cognitive decline, many of the other classic symptoms of NPH are chronic and rarely present with overwhelming anxiety. We report the case of a 63-year-old man who presented with recent primary psychiatric manifestation of severe disabling anxiety and otherwise a minimal change in gait and no urinary disturbance.
