Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 Patient

Abstract

Paraskevas GP, Bougea A and Kapaki E

A patient infected by human immunodeficiency virus type 2, developed shunt-responsive, normal pressure hydrocephalus. No other secondary cause including opportunistic infections, subarachnoid hemorrhage or trauma was detected, emphasizing the possible relationship between normal pressure hydrocephalus and infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 2. To the best of our knowledge, no human immunodeficiency virus type 2 patient with normal pressure hydrocephalus has been reported in the literature. This report aims to extend the spectrum of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 associated neurological complications.
