Abstract

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and iNPH mimics (i.e., Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy or dementia with Lewy bodies) share similar clinical features, and discrimination between both conditions relies on invasive time-consuming investigations. This study aims to compare [123I]FP-CIT SPECT imaging-visual rating and semiquantitative values-between iNPH and iNPH mimics.
