Parkinsonism (rigidity, bradykinesia, tremor, and postural instability) is associated with hydrocephalus. May be seen in the setting of normal pressure hydrocephalus which is characterized by gait ataxia, dementia, and urinary incontinence. The gait disturbance is often associated with parkinsonian features such as shuffling, shortened stride, and imbalance.
