On the occasion of World Alzheimer's Day, a public lecture at the CHUV explores research. Gilles Allali, UNIL professor and director of the Leenaards Memory Center, presents normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a cause of reversible dementia. He details the symptoms of HPN, its distinction from Alzheimer's, innovative diagnostic methods (such as brain sulcus analysis), surgical treatment and the importance of patient involvement.
