I specialised in the treatment of NPH in the UK before returning to India, and an LP not showing the improvement we hope for is not the end of the road. There are a few more tests to check if he is a responder and I would be happy to offer my services if you wish. However, geographically, my unit is located in Bangalore. A video consultation is possible, but a surgical decision can only be made on a direct person to person assessment.
Next Steps
please inform if a consultation is desired for a second opinion.
