Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a disorder affecting the brain's ventricles--cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid that normally help buffer the brain from injury.
It can help determine the possible pathophysiology of
normal pressure hydrocephalus using peak velocity and flow parameters.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Guide to Diagnosis and Management
Since the indications for ETV are not only permanently increasing, but also constantly adjusting and getting re-tailored [1,2], they nowadays, apart from cerebral aqueduct stenosis, includes many clinical conditions with underlying disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics, such as in patients with posterior fossa tumors and cysts [6], communicating hydrocephalus [7],
normal pressure hydrocephalus [8], and in patients with previous ventriculoperitoneal shunts failure [9], but lately also in the hydrocephalic patients with achondroplasia [10].
An imbalance in this mechanical coupling is presumed to be responsible for pathological cerebral states, such as
normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) or Alzheimer disease.
