Progressive supranuclear palsy with marked ventricular dilatation mimicking normal pressure hydrocephalus

DiscussionOur study provides evidence that the combination of EI and CA biomarkers allowed to identify PSP patients with marked ventricular dilatation mimicking NPH. Only a few of these patients had PSP  + NPH. Recognition of these PSP patients with enlarged ventricles can positively impact the care of this disease, helping clinicians to identify patients with PSP + NPH who could benefit from shunt procedure and avoid surgery in those with enlarged ventricles without NPH.
