[edit] How

How long does this take to develop? What type of onset? A few days, or a few decades? I think the article should address this.

[edit] Harold Conn

Harold O Conn, retired physician, has taken it upon himself to inform the profession of his illness (NPH). See Clin Med 2007;7:296–9 (not yet indexed) for his account. JFW | T@lk 11:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear

This sentence: "Most patients who have continued success with such shunts usually only have two of the three triads (excluding incontinence)." is entirely inscrutable. Does this mean that people who get the shunts, and have their ventricles return to normal size only see a benefit in urinary urgency? Or does this mean that some Asian gang members (Triads?) are somehow involved? Or does this mean that people who only had two of the three main symptoms (Wacky and wobbly) show any improvement from shunting? I'm going to give it a go at re-writing this, under the assumption that it should be about treatment outcome. --MTHarden (talk) 04:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
