    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Descriviamo il primo caso noto di associazione di arterite a cellule giganti ed idrocefalo a pressione normale: la prima regredì con terapia cortisonica, il secondo rese necessario una derivazione liquorale. È probabile che la modificazione della componente proteica liquorale sia in questa paziente il movente patogenetico dell'instaurarsi di un idrocefalo ostruttivo occulto.
    Notes: Abstract The first known case of association of giant cell arteritis and normal pressure hydrocephalus is described. The arteritis was cured with corticosteroid therapy while hydrocephalus required ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. The high protein content of cerebrospinal fluid of this patient is probably the pathogenetic mechanism of cerebrospinal fluid block, leading to occult obstructive hydrocephalus.
