Hydrocephalus, also known as water on the brain, is a condition where an abnormal amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the ventricles of the brain. This is a common secondary condition to the neural tube defect Spina Bifida, but it can occur on it's own, most likely from a head injury.
I have hydrocephalus and its not "viral" hydrocephalus, its congenital (i believe that's how its spelled.) anyways congenital hydrocephalus is present or detected at birth without it being in your ancestry. Genetic hydrocephalus means it was passed on from a generation or family member before you.
Hydrocephalus is usually the result of one or more brain disorders within the skull, refer link below.
Conditions responsible for hydrocephalus in a fetus include infantile congenital (present at birth) hydrocephalus, hydrocephalus associated with encephalocele or myelomeningocele, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in newborns.
Spina Bifida is a congenital neural tube defect where part of the spine and meninges are damaged and/or exposed. Hydrocephalus is a secondary condition sometimes associated with Spina Bifida where cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain.
Too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cranium (skull) is called hydrocephalus.
Dandy-Walker syndrome refers to a group of specific, congenital (present at birth) brain malformations, and is a common cause of hydrocephalus (increased fluid in the brain)
the treatment of hydrocephalus
Congenital hydrocephalus is a brain disorder, link below.
the treatment of hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a collection of fluid, it is not a tumor.
This patient's operative hydrocephalus, for which a stent was implanted for drainage.
Hydrocephalus is a brain disorder that is usually the result of another problem within the skull.
