Usually affecting people over 60, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (or NPH) causes a build up of excess fluid in the brain. This puts additional pressure on the blood vessels and brain tissue, leading to a range of serious symptoms.
NPH (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus) is an excessive build-up of fluid in the head which can result in mobility problems, forgetfulness and confusion.
