Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. This can cause the ventricles, or hollow spaces, in the brain to become enlarged, leading to increased pressure inside the skull. Treatment for hydrocephalus typically involves the insertion of a shunt, a small tube that drains excess CSF from the brain and reroutes it to another area of the body where it can be absorbed.
The type of shunt used to treat hydrocephalus will depend on the individual's specific needs. There are several different types of shunts, including ventriculoperitoneal shunts, which drain CSF from the ventricles to the abdomen, and lumboperitoneal shunts, which drain CSF from the lower part of the spinal canal to the abdomen.
The shunt is typically inserted during a surgical procedure, in which a small incision is made in the head or abdomen to allow the surgeon to access the area where the shunt will be placed. The shunt is then inserted and connected to the ventricles or spinal canal, and the excess CSF is drained away.
Overall, the goal of treatment for hydrocephalus is to reduce the excess accumulation of CSF and relieve the increased pressure in the brain. With proper treatment, most people with hydrocephalus are able to lead healthy, normal lives.
