Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by gait disturbance, cognitive impairment, with or without urinary incontinence, enlarged ventricles with or without cerebral atrophy and normal cerebrospinal fluid pressure. METHODS: We report two sisters with NPH who lived together their entire lives and whose natural history might provide insights into genetic and environmental mechanisms...
