Ventriculoperitoneal shunt outcomes in neurodegenerative normal pressure hydrocephalus: A case series of 29 patients

While VPS can provide a limited period of improved gait, it was not shown that shunting can provide persisting benefit in patients with underlying progressive neurodegenerative disease. Shunting to alleviate gait symptoms should be considered on a case-by-case basis with patients and their families in alignment with care goals.

Abstract

While VPS can provide a limited period of improved gait, it was not shown that shunting can provide persisting benefit in patients with underlying progressive neurodegenerative disease. Shunting to alleviate gait symptoms should be considered on a case-by-case basis with patients and their families in alignment with care goals.
