The strong correlation between shunt response and ADC decline support our hypothesis that water accumulation in the cerebrum is the major cause for the symptoms of NPH. The presence of subdural hemorrhage in all nonresponders raises suspicion of decreased compliance as the other major cause. J. Magn. Reson.
