Hydrocephalus
The normal brain has four pockets, called ventricles, which are filled with fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (or CSF). The CSF is constantly being produced and is responsible for nourishing the brain and spinal cord. The CSF flows through a pathway from the brain, down through the spinal canal and is eventually reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Hydrocephalus is a condition that occurs when either too much CSF is produced, the CSF is not reabsorbed into the bloodstream or the normal flow pathway is blocked.
Types of hydrocephalus
Obstructive hydrocephalus
There is an obstruction in the flow of CSF within the normal pathway.
Communicating hydrocephalus
There is no block in the flow of CSF, but the CSF is not absorbed properly back into the bloodstream
Normal pressure hydrocephalus
Usually occurs in older age groups and is due to a lack of properly functioning brain structures.
Secondary hydrocephalus
Usually results from an infection (such as meningitis) or a severe head injury.

Hydrocephalus
Normal CSF Circulation
  • CSF is an ultrafiltrate of the plasma Secreted by the choroid plexuses of the third, fourth and lateral ventricles Total volume of CSF is approximately 150 ml Approximately 500 ml of CSF is produced each day CSF circulates from ventricles into subarachnoid space Absorbed by the arachnoid granulations around the superior sagital sinus In health rate of production equals rate of absorption CSF pressure is usually 10-15 cm water
Causes of hydrocephalus
  • Hydrocephalus is characterised by dilated cerebral ventricles Intraventricular pressure can be normal or raised Usually arises due to interruption to the normal flow of CSF Two main types of hydrocephalus are recognised
    • Communicating hydrocephalus Non-communicating hydrocephalus

      Non-communicating hydrocephalus
      • Obstruction is within the ventricular system Usually results from congenital or neoplastic lesions Causes include:
        • Aqueduct stenosis Atresia of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka Ventriculitis Intraventricular tumours Dandy-Walker syndrome
        Clinical Features
        • May be diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound Postnatal diagnosis depends on the rate of progression of the hydrocephalus Acute hydrocephalus presents with features of raised ICP

Hydrocephalus First Year Special Mothers ... Contact Us Ryan the star of and reason for this site is my grandson. Here is a picture of him with my son - his Uncle David. We do not think of Ryan as a "Special Needs" child we all know that he is a "Special Child". He was a year old in this picture! Looks cute huh. But things were not always this good.
Ryan was born at Treliske Hospital, Truro, Cornwall UK to our daughter Debra, on April 25th 1998 - 17 weeks premature (23 weeks into pregnancy). He weighed just 1lb that's less than half a kilo and things looked bad. He was baptized the next morning because we were warned he had very little chance of surviving. Debbie is our second daughter and her first pregnancy had gone the same way, that little boy (Rhys) only lived a few hours. Phone calls were made to all the family and a lot of tears were shed. There was also anger "why us". Then the "Why her" syndrome set in with a vengeance. My daughter, MY BABY, had never done anything to hurt anyone. She was (and still is) soft and gentle, taking in all the "lame dogs" who cross her path. Then one day surfing on the net to find information about very premature babies (the information was depressing) I found this little story. For anyone else who goes through the "Why me" or "Why us" stage please click here or go to the "Special Mother" page of this site.

But in January I felt very bad again: headache, vomiting, poor apetite. And my parents had to run to the hospital with me. It was a Sunday evening. The doctor controlled my shunt, and it was so painful! Next day my parents were told, that I have a shunt infection, they have to remove my shunt. The infection was a very serious one, located in my left ventricle, as the doctors told, I was near to die. The surgeon told us, that he must do a lot of painful things (punctio, drain) to save my life. I was there in the hospital for more than four months. Often had headache, vomiting, and my appetite was horrible, I wanted to eat only when my mummy was with me. All the nurses and doctors were very kind and friendly, and were playing with me, when they had free time. And I've learned to hang up my head again, and was near to roll left and right. My parents visited me every day, but I missed my brother very much!
In May 2001 i was told, that there is no infection in my head anymore, so I had a shunt surgery again. After 7 days was at home again! But in June - after 2 weeks in my home - I had to go back to the hospital for 2 weeks, because my temperature was very high, about 40 degrees. Thanks God, the cause of it was not my shunt! So I arrived home in time for my brother's birthday party.

Adult hydrocephalus is an important condition often neglected. This group treats patients with hydrocephalus of all kinds including idiopathic and normal pressure hydrocephalus.  Dr. Peter Black is wll known for his clinical and research work for patients with hydrocephalus. During the past five years he and his team have participated in a national research project testing a programmable shunt valve and its use in the management of hydrocephalus. The pressure on the programmable shunt can be increased or decreased without additional surgery.  Presently volumetric imaging has been added.
This group also specializes in the care of patients thought to have idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. Utilizing standard and investigational diagnostic testing, patients are evaluated to assess whether a shunt placement would be helpful.
Please contact Nancy Olsen-Bailey, R.N. or Donna Dello-Iacono at (617)732-6826 for more information. To schedule an appointment call (617)732-6810.

Treatment of Childhood Hydrocephalus at Mayo Clinic in Rochester
Each year, approximately 4,000 infants in the United States are born with hydrocephalus, and an estimated 6,000 children develop hydrocephalus during the first two years of life. The word hydrocephalus is made of two Greek words: hydro, meaning fluid and cephalus, meaning head. It is a condition in which excess fluid accumulates in the brain. Although hydrocephalus is often referred to as "water on the brain," the "water" is actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) a clear fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CSF is manufactured in chambers inside the brain, flows through channels in the brain to get outside the brain, bathes the surface of the brain and spinal cord, and is finally absorbed into the venous blood stream. Any interruption of the normal circulation, such as a blockage, causes the fluid to accumulate in chambers inside the brain and place harmful pressure on the brain tissue. Hydrocephalus can almost always be treated successfully, eliminating symptoms such as an unusually large head, nausea and sleepiness. The intellectual impact of hydrocephalus on a child will vary depending on the severity of the hydrocephalus and other conditions that may be present.

(The ventricular system dilates when CSF flow is obstructed. Therapy, regardless of etiology and pathogenesis, involves shunting the CSF and re-establishing its flow.)
This coronal section enlarged lateral ventricles in a case of hydrocephalus
A. CSF Circulation
Pathway: lateral ventricles, foramen of Monro, third ventricle, aqueduct of Sylvius, fourth ventricle, foramina of Magendie and Luschka; subarachnoid space over brain and spinal cord; reabsorption into venous sinus blood via arachnoid granulations.

B. Non-Communicating Hydrocephalus
Obstruction to CSF flow within ventricular system or at outlet foramina . Sites of narrowing are commonly obstructed, e.g. aqueductal stenosis.

C. Communicating Hydrocephalus
Obstruction to CSF flow in the subarachnoid space after exit from fourth ventricle. Causes include leptomeningitis (fibrosis seals subarachnoid space and obstructs CSF flow) and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Welcome to Raving Lunatics
Hydrocephalus page
I have tried to ensure that the information on this page is as correct as possible. I am not a doctor, I have hydrocephalus, and I have read a bit about the condition. If any-one finds information on this page which is incorrect, I expect them to tell me about it, I do not want to misinform people.
I haven't tried to find data about the success rate of treatment for a number of reasons:
  • Every case of hydrocephalus is different.
  • Current information about the results of treatment has been very difficult to find.

When I read this sources of the information which have been used to write these pages I had no intention of writing about it, and therefore didn't keep a list of the books that I read.

Hydrocephalus
  • What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info
  • What Is It? Hydrocephalus, also known as "water on the brain," is a condition in which there is extra cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid acts as a cushion for the brain and spinal cord, supplies nutrients, and takes away waste products.
