Probable NPH...new & frightening frontier

No, I have no symptoms other than short-term memory frustration. I credit the ER doctor's attention to my ear pressure & feeling of my head being 'full' that prompted the CT, which showed 2 enlarged ventricles. I am hopeful NPH has been identified early, and can be treated before the debilitating symptoms occur.
