I happen to have hydrocephalus :/ and that mass could cause a blockage, requirring insertion of a shunt by neurosurgeons.

What tests would be used to determine if an infant has hydrocephalus?
Initially CT scan is used to confirm hydrocephalus.
I had aTraumatic Head InjuryFractured Spine 1945 in Aircraft Crash would rare delayed complactions such as obstruction to the flow of crebro-spinal fluid cause Hydrocephalus 1993?
No legal opinion here, but there are some hydrocephalus / trauma links below.
Where would a blood clot in which artery of the coronary circulation would be more likely to cause sudden death?
The right coronary artery would more likely cause sudden death. The RCA supplies all of the right ventricle and more than a quarter of the left ventricle; therefore, blood clotting in the RCA would affect more than half of the heart.
The myocardium would be the thickest in the left ventricle?
around the left ventricle
Can you have a natural vaginal birth if your baby has hydrocephalus and spina bifida?
I don't know much about this, but my mother gave birth naturally (vaginal) to my little sister, so it must be possible. It would depend on how serious your baby's hydrocephalus is. I have a friend whose grandson's hydrocephalus made vaginal delivery impossible.
What is the lowest part of the heart?
Well, the ventricles are at the bottom. So, the right ventricle and the left ventricle, I would think.
Where would the blood go from the right ventricle?
From the right ventricle, the blood with flow through the pulmonary trunk and to the lungs.
Would a healthy heart pump more blood out of the left ventricle then its right ventricle?
No, it pumps equal amount
Which layer of the heart enlarges to athletes?
Left ventricle is not a layer, dip head! The appropriate answer would be the myocardium.
Flowchart to indicate the path of cerebrospinal fluid from its formation site?
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) flows through the ventricles, or interconnecting spaces, of the brain. CSF circulation begins in the Lateral Ventricles, which are deep within each cerebral hemisphere, separated by the Septum Pellucidum. It then flows through the Interventricular Foramen of Monro, which connects the Lateral Ventricles with the Third Ventricle. Then, down into the Third ventricle, which is a small space within the Diencephalons. Into the Cerebral Aqueduct of Sylvius, which is located in the midbrain and connects the Third Ventricle with the Fourth Ventricle. The last stop in the brain is the Fourth Ventricle, which lies dorsal to the pons and the medulla. Then CSF circulates down through the central canal of the Spinal Chord and back. CSF then flows through the Subarachnoid Space and finally back into the Circulatory System.
Which athlethes have hydrocephalus?
i am not sure but i would say boxers and football players because they hit their heads and the brain can swell
Does the left ventricle pump more blood than the right ventricle?
No. The left ventricle pumps blood at a higher pressure, and through much more real estate than the right ventricle, but the actual volume pumped by each ventricle is exactly equal at all times, except in certain pathological heart conditions. Think about what would happen if one side of the heart pumps more blood than the other. Excess blood would get backed up and accumulate since the opposite side is pumping lower volumes. In severe instances, this imbalance can be enough to cause death.
