Hydrocephalus Treatment
Hydrocephalus is a basic buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the hollow places inside the brain. The surplus fluid puts pressure on the brain, which might injury it.
If left untreated, hydrocephalus may be fatal.
The injury to the brain from hydrocephalus will cause a large variety of symptoms, including:
- Headache
- Being sick
- Blurred vision
- Difficulty walking
Different types of hydrocephalus will cause specific symptoms.
There are three main kinds of hydrocephalus:
- Congenital hydrocephalus
- Acquired hydrocephalus
- Normal pressure hydrocephalus
