Enlarged head in the elderly, often referred to as hydrocephalus or "benign enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces," can be caused by various factors, including increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, impaired absorption, or structural changes in the brain. Conditions such as normal pressure hydrocephalus, which involves a triad of symptoms including gait disturbance, cognitive dysfunction, and urinary incontinence, can also lead to head enlargement. Additionally, age-related brain atrophy may contribute to the appearance of an enlarged head. It's essential for individuals with this condition to be evaluated by a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and management.
