Abstract
The iNPH phenotype is characterized by a disturbance in at least 3/4 symptom domains in most patients, with improvements in all domains after shunt surgery. Most patients present with a broad-based and shuffling gait as well as paratonia. Present symptoms in all domains and a shuffling gait at the time of diagnosis seem to predict a favorable postoperative outcome, whereas symptom severity does not.
