Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), also called malresorptive hydrocephalus, is a form of communicating hydrocephalus in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the ventricles, leading to normal or slightly elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a particular form of chronic communicating hydrocephalus, characterized by enlarged cerebral ventricles, with only intermittently elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Characteristic triad of symptoms are; dementia, apraxic gait and urinary incontinence.

Despite the reduced brain matter, the man lived a relatively normal life; he was a married civil servant with two kids. He also scored an IQ of 75 which is considered low but not disabled ...
The blue arrows indicate leucoaraiosis. In the left image these may well represent transependymal CSF diapedesis due to normal pressure hydrocephalus, which in turn is suggested by the narrowed superior CSF spaces and acute callosal angle. The unilateral occurrence of these alterations in right image suggests they are probably due to vascular ...
