- Abstract
A 67-year-old woman presented with headache, visual disturbance and increased intraocular pressure to the clinic. As her neurological state deteriorated gradually, she had underwent ventriculo-peritoneal shunt operation due to normal-pressure hydrocephalus 2 years later. Following the operation the patient's neurological symptoms improved and high intraocular pressures turned to normal. Possible coexistence and association of these two clinical situations should be taken into consideration for similar patients.
