Hydrocephalus (water-head, term derived from Greek) is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain, usually due to blockage of CSF outflow in the ventricles or in the subarachoid space at the base of the brain. This increase in intracranial volume results in elevated intracranial pressure and possible compression of the brain. Clinical presentation Hydrocephalus is one of the many conditions that causes an increased intracranial pressure. Clinical mani ...
