Hi,
I am Dr.Bruno and Let me answer your query.

I am sorry to hear that your husband has the following problems
1. completely out of his head,
2. combative and
3. unable to walk

This may be due to Normal Pressure Hydrocephalous, which may also present with Urinary Incontinence or Inappropriate micturition

I would suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon and Rule Normal Pressure Hydrocephalous

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalous is easy to treat and the patient will have good recovery following treatment

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.
