HYDROCEPHALUS

Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles, leading to increased intracranial pressure. This can result from various causes, including congenital conditions, infections, or head injuries. Symptoms may include headaches, nausea, impaired vision, and cognitive difficulties. In infants, progressive enlargement of head size is commonly noted.
