Abstract

<p>【Purpose】An autopsy case of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is reported.</p><p>【Case】A 75-year-old man presented with gradual progression of memory impairment, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence. A diagnosis of iNPH was made, and V-P shunt was performed, and the symptoms improved significantly. He later died of renal failure and an autopsy was performed.</p><p>In the brain parenchyma, mild senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles were observed in the hippocampus. A trace of lacunar infarction was found in the pons. In the cerebrospinal fluid system, fibrosis of the arachnoid membrane near the superior sagittal sinus and a decrease in granule cells were observed. No inflammatory changes were observed. Lateral ventricular choroid plexus epithelial cells were present almost normally.</p><p>【Conclusion】As pathological findings, retraction and fibrosis of arachnoid granules near the superior sagittal sinus were observed.</p>
