<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Introduction</h3> Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological condition which made up of clinical triad gait disturbance, dementia and urinary incontinence can be reversed by ventricular shunting. Currently, some guidelines suggest the use Evans' index (EI) for diagnosis hydrocephalus radiologically. Most studies are based on Western population data. None these have been performed in Ghanaian setting yet. The aim this study was to quantitatively establish...
