Review explores pathophysiology and classification of normal pressure hydrocephalus, suggesting avenues for future research.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and cognitive impairment.
Dysfunction of the glymphatic system and neuroinflammatory processes are crucial in understanding NPH's pathophysiology.
The review highlights the importance of accurately classifying NPH to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies.
With an aging population, differentiating NPH from other neurodegenerative disorders is increasingly important for effective management.
