Can you claim disabilaty for hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a condition which can be disabling or can cause disabilities if it cannot be managed. Medications can be prescribed and some times a shunt is installed in the head so that fluid is able to be removed so that the brain does not have increased pressure on it. If hydrocephalus is managed, then the symptoms can be managed as well, and it is less disabling - the person can live a normal life. If it is not able to be managed, then the symptoms can be extremely disabling: headaches, vision disturbance, seizures, memory loss, personality changes, difficulty walking. If hydrocephalus is severe during infancy it can cause brain damage and physical disabilities. In less severe cases, it can cause developmental delays, which can lay the groundwork for disability.
