Hydrocephalus is usually the result of one or more brain disorders within the skull, refer link below.
The congenital form of hydrocephalus is believed to occur at an incidence of approximately one to four out of every 1,000 births
a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Aqueductal stenosis, an obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct, is the most frequent cause of congenital hydrocephalus
Dandy-Walker syndrome refers to a group of specific, congenital (present at birth) brain malformations, and is a common cause of hydrocephalus (increased fluid in the brain)
I have hydrocephalus and its not "viral" hydrocephalus, its congenital (i believe that's how its spelled.) anyways congenital hydrocephalus is present or detected at birth without it being in your ancestry. Genetic hydrocephalus means it was passed on from a generation or family member before you.
Conditions responsible for hydrocephalus in a fetus include infantile congenital (present at birth) hydrocephalus, hydrocephalus associated with encephalocele or myelomeningocele, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in newborns.
Hydrocephalus, also known as water on the brain, is a condition where an abnormal amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the ventricles of the brain. This is a common secondary condition to the neural tube defect Spina Bifida, but it can occur on it's own, most likely from a head injury.
Hydrocephalus can cause learning impairment by putting pressure on the brain.
People with Spina Bifida can be born with hydrocephalus ("water on the brain), which can cause memory problems. But not all people with Spina Bifida have hydrocephalus, and therefore not all of them have memory problems.
I happen to have hydrocephalus :/ and that mass could cause a blockage, requirring insertion of a shunt by neurosurgeons.
Spina Bifida is a congenital neural tube defect where part of the spine and meninges are damaged and/or exposed. Hydrocephalus is a secondary condition sometimes associated with Spina Bifida where cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain.
Too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cranium (skull) is called hydrocephalus.
Congenital heart disease means you are born with this disease so coronary occlusion cannot be a cause of congenital heart disease.

Too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cranium (skull) is called hydrocephalus, which may cause an increase in head circumference.
