  • what i dont understand is what is the difference between NPH and Hydrocephalus...

  • @SweetBrwnSuga: Thanks for your question! NPH if a type of hydrocephalus that is found in patients 50+ years of age. Other forms of hydrocehalus can be congenital or aquired at any stage in one's life after head trauma, tumors, brain surgery, or other unknown reasons.
