Abstract
Background There are few cases of adult onset familial normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) reported in the literature but the rarity of the disease makes coincidence unlikely. Female monozygotic twins presenting with the NPH triad of symptoms were assessed on a neuropsychological test battery. The aims were to determine whether the neuropsychological evidence could support the differential diagnosis of adult onset NPH whilst contributing to a further understanding of the neuropsychological profile of adult NPH.
