Our study provides evidence that the combination of EI and CA biomarkers allowed to identify PSP patients with marked ventricular dilatation mimicking NPH. Only a few of these patients had PSP + NPH. Recognition of these PSP patients with enlarged ventricles can positively impact the care of this disease, helping clinicians to identify patients with PSP + NPH who could benefit from shunt procedure and avoid surgery in those with enlarged ventricles without NPH.
