Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Lastly, dementia can be caused by normal pressure hydrocephalus. This is a condition in which excess fluid builds up in the ventricles of the brain. Since this area is responsible for cushioning the spinal cord and brain, the condition would put extra pressure and lead to damages. As a result, some dementia symptoms could occur. There are many causes of normal pressure hydrocephalus, such as brain tumor, infection, bleeding, brain surgery, or injury. It is important to seek early treatments as they would prevent further damages in the brain that cannot be reserved. Surgery can be an option to deal with some serious cases. [10]
