If you or your loved ones are 60+ and experiencing changes in walking, memory decline, or difficulty controlling bladder function, it may be NPH, a common condition sometimes misdiagnosed as dementia or Parkinson's.
The good news:
A rapid diagnosis is available
There is an effective treatment that can significantly improve walking, memory, and independence.
In many cases, results can be seen within the first few days following the intervention.
Are you noticing that walking has become slower?
That memory is not what it used to be?
That you rush to the bathroom but do not always make it in time?
Do not assume it is just age; it may be a medical condition that can be treated.
נעים להכיר וחשוב לדעת
הידרוקן תקין לחץ (NPH) היא תסמונת שכיחה יותר ממה שחושבים,
במיוחד בגילאי 60+, ולעיתים קרובות מתבלבלים וחושבים שזו דמנציה או פרקינסון.
ועם אבחון נכון, אפשר לעצור את ההחמרה ואף להחזיר תפקוד שאבד.
Why come now—and not wait
At Malicov Center, we specialize in rapid and accurate diagnosis of NPH.
Using simple tests and advanced methods, we can determine if the symptoms are caused by hydrocephalus—and if so, there is a treatment that can change quality of life
- Improvement in walking and stability
- Improvement in memory
Rapid results:
In many cases, within 30-60 minutes after treatment, a change is observed, which does not occur in degenerative diseases.
How does it work?
Simple test
Routine lumbar puncture
Fluid drainage
Approximately 40 cc of cerebrospinal fluid
Evaluation of results
Within 30-60 minutes
If symptoms improve, it is a clear indication that drainage is helpful, and there is a good chance that treatment will significantly improve the condition
What is the treatment for normal pressure hydrocephalus?
It involves permanent drainage of excess cerebrospinal fluid through a shunt insertion surgery that takes 40-60 minutes. The treatment enables significant improvement in walking, memory, independence, and quality of life within the first few days following it. The treatment is performed by an expert neurosurgeon, Dr. Yuval Sufaro, Deputy Director of the Neurosurgical Department at Beilinson Hospital
