Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus with radiological features of disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus (DESH). A 78-year-old woman with one-year history of gait disturbances, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence. Observe the normal CSF flow across the aqueduct on the 3DT2WTSE (SPACE) midsagittal image (a), the enlarged Sylvian fissures associated with narrowing of the sulci over the high convexity, and low callosal angle on the coronal T2-FLAIR image (b). Ventriculomegaly associated with extensive white matter and some focal sulcal dilation changes is seen on T2 and T2-FLAIR images (c, d). Reproduced from Rovira A. Communicating Hydrocephalus.
