An increased level of CFS in the skull can be caused by overproduction by the choroid plexus or damage to the arachnoid granulations meaning it cant be drained into the sagital sinus effectively and so the levels contained in the ventricles and subarachnoid space increase. If there is a blockage of the cerebral aquaduct this stops CSF flowing out of the ventricles causing a build up of fluid here. These problems resuly in swelling in the ventricles which in an adult crush the brain into the inside of the skull often sausing ireversible brain dammage. In a neonate the result is somewhat different as their skill is still relatively soft and had not yet formed all its sutures and so the swelling of the ventriles leads to swelling of the whole head pushing the skull outwards.
