Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological condition caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) buildup in the brain’s ventricles, putting pressure on brain tissue. This can lead to memory problems, difficulty walking, and loss of bladder control, primarily affecting adults over 65. With proper treatment, symptoms can often be improved or even reversed.
NPH develops gradually, with gait issues, urinary incontinence, and cognitive decline (Hakim’s triad) being the key symptoms. Many patients experience all three simultaneously.
Primary (Idiopathic) NPH, with no known cause but possible links to aging and degeneration, and Secondary NPH, caused by aneurysms, strokes, tumors, infections, or brain injuries.

Our approach includes shunt surgery, a minimally invasive procedure that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and relieves pressure on the brain, helping to restore normal function.

John Chavez2024-09-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moksha is caring, focused and a great surgeon. I interviewed another doctor before finding her and wasn’t at all impressed with him. Moksha on the other hand made me feel that I was important and that she would work on my problem, which she did and finally after about three years of pain and suffering I no longer have the pain that kept me housebound. I’m starting to feel better and I’ve even started walking around again. Soon I’ll be up to a mile each time I walk around and then two or three miles at a time. I am so happy that I “found” her to be my surgeon. If you have a chance ask for her help. You won’t be disappointed! Break Repair Heal2024-05-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ranasinghe is very conservative in her approach and wants to ensure all options have been exhausted before doing spine surgery. She opted for physical therapy and injection. So far I am doing MUCH better and have not had to do surgery. Anthony King2024-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment I met her, Dr. Ranasinghe put me right at ease. She's got such a warm, caring personality and you can just tell she really knows her stuff as a spine surgeon but spoke in very simple terms so I could understand. She was very thorough in explaining my MRI results and all the different surgery options and went over the pros and cons of everything, but never pressured me into a decision. In the end I opted for surgery a year later. Now, I'm almost pain-free for the first time in ages because of one amazing spine surgeon. Dr. Ranasinghe is the whole package - super smart, caring as can be, amazing spine surgery and has the best bedside manner. Thank you!!"
