DeathClock 379 Posted May 19, 2019 Interesting article “Conway had suffered complications from Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), and showed no signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a condition that mimics dementia, but can be fixed by draining cerebrospinal fluid. Usually they will test the theory by drawing off some fluid with a spinal tap, and if the symptoms get better, they go to the next step of putting a shunt in the brain to continuously drain it off. It's a reasonable thing to try especially if there is rapid onset of dementia with a progression that is much quicker than normal, but in the few instances I have seen it done it hasn't really helped because the person did indeed have dementia. Called it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
