摘要
This article explores the association between normal pressure hydrocephalus and psychiatric symptoms, such as depressed mood, delusions, and hallucinations. We are reporting a case of a 30-year-old female with a history of congenital hydrocephalus, is used to illustrate this association. Such patients may benefit from treatment with ventriculoperitoneal or ventriculoatrial shunt procedures.
