This color enhanced sagittal (lateral-from the side) MRI image shows normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) (purple) which is a form of communicating hydrocephalus. This is most often seen in the elderly and produces symptoms of gait apraxia, urinary incontinence and dementia. It is a potentially reversible cause of dementia if it can be successfully treated with ventricular shunting (siphoning off cerebral spinal fluid-CSF).

Because of its location, it can cause obstructive hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure. These cysts account for approximately 1% of all intracranial tumors and can cause headache, vertigo, memory deficits, diplopia, behavioral disturbances and in extreme cases, sudden death.
