Hello @gll and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus to allow you to connect with members such as @Erinmfs and @awilst who have been sharing about NPH.

I heard back from my neurologist, and he said "the testing was negative for normal pressure hydrocephalus, suggesting she would not benefit from a shunt. She should follow-up with your primary care physician." I was told the mri showed nph. By not benefitting from a shunt dismiss the diagnosis of nph? Thank you for any help.
