Скачать или смотреть What is Hydrocephalus?

Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles, leading to increased pressure on the brain. This can occur due to a blockage in CSF flow, overproduction of the fluid, or issues with its absorption. Hydrocephalus can affect individuals of all ages, with symptoms varying by age group, such as an enlarged head in infants, headaches, nausea, and balance problems in adults, or cognitive decline in older individuals. Treatment often involves surgically implanting a shunt to drain excess fluid or performing a procedure like endoscopic third ventriculostomy to restore normal flow.#neuro #neurosurgery #neurological #neurologicaldisorder #brain #hydrocephalus #hydrocephalusawareness
