   Why does NPH happen?

   • NPH happens because of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) buildup in your brain. CSF is a fluid that provides nutrients to and removes waste products from your brain. Adults typically only have about 5 fluid ounces (150 milliliters) of CSF, less than half the volume of liquid in a standard beverage can.

   What is idiopathic NPH?

   • Experts suspect idiopathic NPH can involve one or more age-related issues with how your body makes, circulates and reabsorbs CSF. About half of NPH cases are idiopathic. Under ordinary circumstances, your body makes about 400 to 600 mL of CSF daily.
