About
Hydrocephalus is where an excess of cerebrospinal fluid builds in the ventricles within the brain, causing increased pressure.
There are different types of hydrocephalus:
- Congenital — present at birth, caused by genetic and environmental factors.
- Acquired — following on from other conditions such as head injury, haemorrhage, infection or a tumour blocking the normal fluid pathway.
- Normal pressure — tending to occur in older patients and the symptoms resemble dementia.
