Zusammenfassung

Der idiopathische Normaldruckhydrozephalus (iNPH) ist die einzige demenzielle Erkrankung, die einer neurochirurgischen Therapie zugänglich ist. Aufgrund des demoskopischen Wandels gewinnt der iNPH mit seinem Häufigkeitsgipfel in der achten Lebensdekade zunehmend an Bedeutung. In dieser Übersicht werden die aktuelle Theorie zur Pathophysiologie des iNPH und die wichtigsten Stationen ihrer Entwicklung vorgestellt.

Summary

The idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is the only form of dementia accessible for neurosurgical treatment. As the incidence peaks in the 8th decade of life, the disease becomes increasingly important with the demographic change. The aim of this survey is to give an overview of the recent pathophysiological theory and to portrait milestones of development of this theory.
