Can you die of hydrocephalus?
Yes, Hydrocephalus is over production of CSF in the ventricles of the brain. If there is too much fluid in the brain ,it can increased intracranial pressure.Some of us have been treated and live to tell about it, however.This is not a cure, but modern treatment devised by the late John Holter circa 1957 has enabled us to live by stablizing intracranial pressure and devising an artificial drainage route for cerebrospinal fluid.Still, the device, a shunt as it is called, is prone to breakdowns like any artificial appliance. Known as a shunt malfunction it must be remedied quickly, usually by surgical means or else the risk of death returns due to increased pressure again.
What are early signs of ICP?
The most sensitive--and generally the earliest--indicator of deteriorating neurologic status is level of consciousness (LOC), including the patient's awareness of surroundings and self. Even a slight alteration in LOC can indicate brain dysfunction of increased intracranial pressure. And the longer the dysfunction lasts, the greater the chance of permanent injury.The earliest signs and symptoms of decreasing LOC are also the most subtle. The patient may become lethargic, talkative or quiet, or restless and irritable. He may have trouble remembering things, experience a change in personality, or complain of nausea and vomiting. Symptoms may progress to confusion or diminished responsiveness. The patient may even develop hemiparesis or new-onset seizures.Besides changes in LOC, other signs that may indicate increased ICP are an altered respiratory pattern, unequal pupils, and sluggish pupillary response to light (early signs); fixed, dilated pupils; decorticate or decerebrate posturing; loss of gag reflex; loss of corneal reflex; and bradycardia (late signs).Another late sign of increased ICP is a combination of: increased systolic blood pressure, widened pulse pressure, and slowed heart rate. Irregular respiratory patterns may develop, and the patient's temperature may rise.A breakdown of symptoms:Infants:DrowsinessSeparated sutures on the skullBulging of the soft spot on top of the head (bulging fontanelle)VomitingOlder children and adults:Behavior changesDecreased consciousnessHeadacheLethargyNeurological symptoms, including weakness, numbness, eye movement problems, and double visionSeizuresVomiting
