초록
A 68-year-old man presented with progressive impairment of gait, balance, and memory. He exhibited a slow and unstable gait. Formal neuropsychological evaluation showed a deficit in visuospatial function and memory with frontal dysfunctions. He was diagnosed as idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus with an Evans' ratio of 0.35. Four-and-a-half years after ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, he showed a marked improvement in gait, as well as in visuospatial and frontal lobe functions. He benefited from shunt surgery for at least four-and-a-half years.
