===== Indications =====

• Early [[shunt]] surgery can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and prognosis of patients with [[idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus]] (iNPH). • Structural imaging findings have limited predictiveness for the prognosis of patients with iNPH after shunt surgery. • Patients should not be selected for shunt surgery based on only structural imaging findings
