Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles, increasing intracranial pressure.
Timely treatment is crucial to prevent neurological damage, and may involve shunt placement or endoscopic procedures to restore normal fluid flow.
Causes and Risk Factors
Hydrocephalus can be congenital or acquired due to infections, tumors, bleeding, or injury. Early diagnosis is important to prevent developmental delays and neurological complications.
Diagnosis and Imaging
Diagnosis includes neurological examination and imaging studies like MRI or CT scan to assess ventricular size, CSF flow, and brain structure.
Treatment Options for Hydrocephalus
Common treatments include ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement or endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Both procedures redirect CSF to reduce intracranial pressure.
