Description

A 66-year-old woman on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) was diagnosed as having idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). During the recent 6 months, motivation and walking disturbance appeared and then worsened. Evaluation of mental state scales also showed a decrease. Lumbo-peritoneal (LP) shunt ameliorated her symptoms and improved brain CT findings. It appears that minimally invasive LP shunt is effective for maintenance HD patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
