Hydrocephalus — a condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the brain’s ventricles — occurs in about 1 to 2 out of every 1,000 births. This buildup can increase pressure inside the skull and potentially affect brain development if not managed early.

One of the ways it may be detected in infants is through routine head circumference measurements at regular check-ups. If a baby’s head is growing unusually quickly compared to standard growth charts, or if the shape appears abnormal, it can be a sign of hydrocephalus. Early detection through these serial measurements allows for timely investigation and intervention, which can significantly improve outcomes.
