Gait apraxia : case report

Gait apraxia is most commonly a part of the Hakimov triad (gait apraxia, urinary incontinece, dementia) in normotensive hydrocephalus (NPH), although it may be a symptom of some other conditions. In our case the patient was a long term Parkinsons disease sufferer who developed normotensive hydrocephalus and consequently gaigt apraxia. Only after a third successive evacuation of the CSF his gait aprxia improved.
