Hydrocephalus, characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's ventricles, can potentially lead to hypertension, particularly when increased intracranial pressure affects the brain's regulatory mechanisms for blood pressure. The condition may disrupt normal blood flow and cerebrovascular responses, influencing systemic blood pressure. However, the relationship between hydrocephalus and hypertension can vary among individuals, and other factors may also play a role. It's essential for affected individuals to be monitored and managed by healthcare professionals to address any related complications.
