Hydrocephalus
What is Hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus, sometimes referred to as “water on the brain,” is a medical condition characterized by the accumulation of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain’s ventricles. This buildup of fluid can exert pressure on the brain, leading to a range of symptoms and potentially causing damage if left untreated. Hydrocephalus is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.
Hydrocephalus is categorized into two main types: congenital and acquired. Congenital hydrocephalus is present at birth and is often a result of abnormal development during fetal growth. Acquired hydrocephalus, on the other hand, can develop at any age due to various factors, such as infection, hemorrhage, or tumors that block the normal flow of CSF.
