Hydrocephalus is not a hereditary case.
Its root would be several factors such as: Brain malformation upon development in the womb=this called congenital Hydro, infections or diseases acquired in infancy this called acquired Hydro,
There are two types:
1.Communicating- wherein the problem is either the slow absorption of the fluid or fast production of fluid.
2. Non-communicating-a Block causes the fluid to fill up. thus causing increase size of head in infants. for adults since the skull is closed by that time, manifestations would be pain, headaches, irritability, due to Increased Intracranial Pressure.

∙ 11y agoArachnoid cysts (brain cysts) are cerebrospinal fluid covered by arachnoidal cells and collagen that may develop between the surface of the brain and the cranial base or on the arachnoid membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord.
The exact cause of arachnoid cysts is not known. Researchers believe that most cases of arachnoid cysts are developmental malformations that arise from the unexplained splitting or tearing of the arachnoid membrane.
In some cases, arachnoid cysts occurring in the middle fossa are accompanied by underdevelopment (hypoplasia) or compression of the temporal lobe. The exact role that temporal lobe abnormalities play in the development of middle fossa arachnoid cysts is unknown.
There are some cases where hereditary disorders have been connected with arachnoid cysts.

∙ 12y agowe cannot say its hereditary.many times if a person has brain tumour and if mother or father of that person has it then it doesnt mean that its hereditary.it can be a coincidence or can be hereditary in some families but not all.yet only some tumors are inherited.

Benign brain tumors are composed of harmless cells
Who is at a higher risk of brain tumors?
Men and caucasians have a higher risk of developing brain tumors

What is a primary tumors?
Tumors that initially arise and grow within the brain are termed primary tumors
What common tumors are found in the cardiovascular system and the integumentary system?
* brain tumors and facalie tumors
What types of tumors are often removed by surgery?
Benign tumors (non-cancerous) such as brain tumors.
What are the types of Brain Tumors?
Primary brain tumors can be benign or cancer.Usually, benign tumors are often removed, and that they seldom grow back.Benign brain tumors usually have a clear border or edge. Cells from benign growths rarely invade tissues around them.They don't spread to other parts of the body.Benign tumors can continue sensitive areas of the brain and cause serious health problems.Unlike benign tumors are sometimes life-threatening.Benign brain tumors may become turn into cancer.Malignant brain tumors contain cancer cells:Malignant brain tumors are generally more serious and sometimes are a threat to life.They are likely to grow rapidly or invade nearby healthy brain tissue.Cancer cells may break free from the malignant brain cancer and spread to other parts of the brain or to the medulla spinal.
What is a brain tumor?
Congenital brain tumors are very rare neoplasms (tumors). Simply it is a generic term for any brain tumor which has existed from birth.
