Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) with comorbid vascular dementia (VD) often have poor response to ventriculo-peritoneal (V-P) shunt. Here, three patients over the age of 60 came to the hospital with the similar clinical symptoms, Evan index over 0.3, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score <27, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure under 200 mmH 2 O. They accepted conventional brain imaging scanning, followed by magnetic resonance-susceptibility weighted imaging (MR-SWI) scanning. We found that MR-SWI could distinguish INPH from leukoaraiosis (LA) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), through cerebral microbleed (CMB) images, sharply. We highly recommended incorporation of MR-SWI into INPH international guidance as a routine pre-operative diagnostic method preceding V-P shunt treatment.
