Secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus due to Lyme disease
I will be discussing a unique case involving a 67-year-old man involving a patient who slowly began having difficulties with his balance.
This case was described by Gimsing and colleagues in the journal Gimsing
A 67-year-old man developed multiple symptoms over a 3- to 4-month period. He complained of balance problems, diffuse dizziness, urinary urge-incontinence, problems concentrating and with finding words, increased irritability, sore muscles of the arms muscles and around the neck, a moderate morning headache, and an increasing feeling of exhaustion.
He had enlarged ventricles in his brain that was presumed due to Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) typically requiring a shunt from the brain to the stomach.
His diagnosed was changed to secondary normal pressure Hydrocephalus (sNPH) based on an abnormal spinal tap.
His symptoms cleared and the enlarged ventricle in his brain resolved with doxycycline.
