I only mention this (with different symptoms) because I have increased CSF, but my MRI was completely normal and that is common with pseudotumor cerebri. So, there is at least one issue that would show a normal MRI, but if you've had your eyes checked and there is no swelling or hemorrhage, then it's different. The swelling and bleeding in my eyes meant it was taken very seriously and I was pushed through and given appointments within 48 hours for all of my testing.

I have congenital hydrocephalus, also known as obstructive hydrocephalus, and I know next to nothing about NPH, but have you consulted a neurosurgeon? I have personally never seen a neurologist, and up until last last month, had not seen a neurosurgeon in about 15, but when I started experiencing strange symptoms, I went straight to a neurosurgeon and with an MRI, he was able to see my enlarged ventricles right away.
