Sparing of language, spatial awareness, and declarative memory is typical of which of the following?
A. Adult hydrocephalus
B. Meningitis
C. TIA
D. Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery
ANS: A
Rationale: Because the cranium cannot expand in older children and adults, excessive pressure in the ventricles as a result of hydrocephalus compresses the nervous tissue. This compression commonly causes gait and balance impairments, incontinence, headaches, and confusion; however, spatial language, spatial awareness, and declarative memory are spared.
