| Abstract |
Patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus often show neuropsychiatric symptoms besides the triad of 'classic' symptoms. Memantine has been reported to have positive effects on the neuropsychiatric symptoms of patients with Alzheimer's disease and patients with dementia with Lewy bodies. We administered memantine to a Japanese patient with probable idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, hoping that this treatment would have positive effects on the neuropsychiatric symptoms of his idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 February 2021.
All research outputs
#8,647,454
of 25,654,806 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#740
of 4,634 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,893
of 213,678 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#9
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,654,806 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,634 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 213,678 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
