Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test and compare the efficacy of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy with shunting of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)for treatment for patients of Normal pressure Hydrocephalus.
Detailed Description:
Normal pressure Hydrocephalus is a reversible disorder of cognition and gait disorder.Currently the shunting of CSF is the recommended treatment of these patients. Even though shunts are known to be beneficial treatment of Hydrocephalus they often need treatment or revision for infection or malfunction. Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy is a treatment without complications of shunt and is known to benefit obstructive forms of hydrocephalus.Few studies have also shown that it may be efficacious treatment Normal pressure Hydrocephalus.
