2. Hydrocephalus

This is a condition characterized by the buildup of fluid in ventricles deep inside the brain. This excess fluid consequently causes excess pressure on the brain.Typically, cerebrospinal fluid is supposed to flow through the ventricles and bathe the spinal column and brain. However, the pressure resulting from the excess cerebrospinal fluid as a result of hydrocephalus can cause damage to brain tissues as well as causing a range of brain function impairments.Hydrocephalus can occur in people of all ages. However, it most commonly occurs in infants or adults over the age of 60. Surgical treatment is usually employed to restore and maintain the normal levels of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain.The common signs of hydrocephalus in infants include:• A bulging on top of the head• A rapid increase in the size of the head• A head that is unusually large.Next
