Bratisl Lek Listy. 2010;111(2):101-2.

Abstract

Gait apraxia is most commonly a part of the Hakimov triad (gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, dementia) in normotensive hydrocephalus (NPH), although it may be a symptom of some other conditions. In our case the patient was a long term Parkinson's disease sufferer who developed normotensive hydrocephalus and consequently gait apraxia. Only after a third successive evacuation of the CSF his gait apraxia improved (Fig. 1, Ref. 15). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.
