What is Hydrocephalus? Hydrocephalus is the abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain. In most instances, hydrocephalus is a lifelong condition in that the patient is treated rather than "cured." Presently, there is no known way to prevent or cure hydrocephalus and shunts are the primary method to treat hydrocephalus. The one-way calibrated shunt system was introduced in 1952. Treatment by shunting the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to another area of the body, generally allows patients to lead full and active lives. There are different kinds and models of shunting systems. Although, shunts were a major medical breakthrough, there are problems that still remain unsolved in the treatment of hydrocephalus, such as shunt obstruction and infection. An overwhelming majority of newborns with hydrocephalus will have a normal life span and normal or even superior intelligence. In addition, they will enjoy normal activities and be useful members of society. However, there are complications associated with hydrocephalus with learning disabilities being one of the most prevalent. In most cases, hydrocephalus is not hereditary.

About NHF The National Hydrocephalus Foundation (NHF) was incorporated in the state of Illinois in 1979 as a voluntary, not-for-profit, 501 C (3), public service organization. The objectives of NHF are: To assemble and disseminate information pertaining to hydrocephalus, its treatments and outcomes To establish and facilitate a communication network among affected families and individuals To help others gain a deeper understanding of those areas affected by hydrocephalus, such as education, insurance, tax and estate planning, employment and family To increase public awareness and knowledge of hydrocephalus To promote and support research on the causes, treatment and prevention of hydrocephalus In addition to providing the public with informational brochures, NHF offers a variety of help guides, maintains a reference library, videos/CD's on hydrocephalus, has support groups, will assist others in starting an NHF support group in their area, and publishes a quarterly newsletter, Life~Line.

Site Search Site Search About ASBAH Contact Us Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus ... Folic Acid What is Hydrocephalus? The term ‘hydrocephalus’ is from two Greek words meaning ‘water in the head’. In fact, the ‘water’ is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a clear liquid which is produced all the time in the cavities or ventricles inside the brain. It passes from one ventricle to the next (four in all) through narrow pathways, then circulates around the surface of the brain – a little also goes down the spinal cord – and is absorbed back into the bloodstream. The absorption takes place through specialised veins inside the skull which have a sieve-like surface. Though much slower than the circulation of the blood, the CSF is constantly being produced, circulated and reabsorbed. Hydrocephalus can result when either too much CSF is produced (very rare), or when it is prevented from circulating or being reabsorbed – the two most common causes. As in these circumstances CSF is constantly produced but cannot get out, it accumulates and causes raised pressure inside the brain. The ventricles swell and the brain tissue is stretched and squashed. The skull bones in babies and young children are not fixed together as they are in later life, and the pressure causes the head to increase in size. However it is important to realise that hydrocephalus can also arise in older children and in adults, when the skull bones are fixed and the head cannot increase in size.

PATIENT-CENTERED GUIDES Catalog Patient Centers Home Hydrocephalus ... Center Home Congenital hydrocephalus... can be traced to a birth defect or brain malformation In 1983, at the age of 13, I acquired hydrocephalus when I was hit in the head by a baseball. It was a freak accident. The term "communicating hydrocephalus" means that the site of increased resistance to CSF drainage resides outside of the ventricular system in the subarachnoid space. Non-communicating, or obstructive, hydrocephalus is caused when there is an obstruction in the flow of CSF within the ventricular system of the brain. Hydrocephalus is often associated with Dandy-Walker syndrome, neural tube defects, and spinal bifida. CSF is constantly being produced, flowing through, bathing, protecting, and cleansing the structures of your brain.... To communicate effectively with neurosurgeons, patients who have hydrocephalus need to become familiar with the basic structures of the brain. The effect that hydrocephalus has on an area of the body greatly depends on where the blockage or abnormal accumulation of CSF is located. Hydrocephalus occurs when there is an obstruction of one of the ventricles or ventricular foramina (CSF passageways) that restricts the flow of CSF What is Hydrocephalus?
