🧠 Billy Joel’s Diagnosis: What Is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)? | GNI Podcast Episode 4

Welcome to Episode 4 of the GNI Podcast, where we explore everything about the brain and beyond.

This episode features an in-depth conversation between Dr. Erol Veznedaroglu, MD, FACS, FAANS, FAHA, one of the nation’s most experienced cerebrovascular neurosurgeons, and Alec Veznedaroglu, Creative Director at Global Neurosciences Institute.

They discuss Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) — the brain condition recently brought into public focus by Billy Joel’s diagnosis. Often mistaken for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or dementia, NPH is actually a treatable condition — when properly diagnosed.

In this episode:

• What is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)?

• Why NPH is so often misdiagnosed

• How Billy Joel’s diagnosis is raising public awareness

• Real patient outcomes from fluid removal and shunt treatment

• Why clinical diagnosis still matters more than imaging

This episode offers expert insight into a misunderstood brain condition affecting thousands of older adults — and what happens when it’s caught in time.
