Hydrocephalus is a condition in which an excessive amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates in the brain's ventricles, causing increased pressure on the brain. This buildup of fluid can lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, balance problems, and cognitive difficulties.
Hydrocephalus can occur at any age, but it is most common in infants and older adults. It may be caused by congenital factors, infections, tumors, or head injuries. Treatment often involves surgically placing a shunt system that drains the excess fluid from the brain to another part of the body where it can be absorbed.
