What Is the Best Treatment for Hydrocephalus?
In general population hydrocephalus has been commonly called “water on the brain”. The water in hydrocephalus is actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which has pooled in the brain due to an imbalance in the amount produced vs. the amount the body can absorb. Normally, CSF continuously flows through brain cavities, acting as a shock absorber and delivering vital nutrients before being absorbed into the blood. Hydrocephalus interrupts this healthy flow of CSF, causing an accumulation that puts pressure on the brain.
