Gait disturbance in iNPH is associatedwith altered
axonal integrity in the corups callosum and lower-limb
motortracts. The degree of axonal integrity changes is
significantly increased inlumbar-drainage non-responders
than the responders. DTI may potentially beuseful in
differentiate the responders from non-responders in the
diagnosticworkup of iNPH patients who might benefit
fronm permanent ventriculo-peritonealshunting treatment.
