Abstract:

The clinical manifestation of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) implies loss of bladder sphincter control, gait disorder and cognitive impairment. The aim of this study is to describe the NPH patient's functional neuropsychological state through a syndromic analysis, applying qualitative neuropsychological tests and assessment of intellectual activity. It is evidenced difficulties and errors, which characterize severe syndrome with self-regulation and control of the activity. In the case of NPH, such syndrome is a consequence of organic frontal damage. Systematic errors derived from a lack of planning, selectivity and self-criticism were observed in complex perceptual, verbal and intellectual tasks. In this case, the qualitative neuropsychological analysis supports the affirmation of a cortical atrophy with frontal predominance in NPH.
