A usually congenital condition in which an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the cerebral ventricles causes enlargement of the skull and compression of the brain, destroying much of the neural tissue
{n} a dropsy in the head
an abnormal buildup of fluid in the brain
A condition, often congenital, marked by abnormal and excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebral ventricles This dilates the ventricles and in infants and young children causes the head to enlarge
Overfilling of the fluid cavities (ventricles) of the brain A shunting device is usually needed to control hydrocephalus in individuals with spina bifida
is the enlargement of fluid filled spaces in the brain known as ventricles This enlargement derives from an imbalance of the production and absorption of the cerebrolspinal fluid, and is usually caused by a blockage in the normal circulation of this fluid
Hydrocephalus come from the Greek words for water (hydro) and head (cephalus) It occurs when there is too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles of the brain CSF is produced in the ventricles, cushions the brain and spinal cord, and is absorbed into the bloodstream Hydrocephalus occurs when the body cannot absorb all the CSF that is produced When the CSF builds up, it causes the ventricles to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase To release the pressure, doctors insert a tiny tube - called a shunt - into the child's head The shunt drains the extra CSF from the brain to other parts of the body (Meyer (ed) 1997)
enlargement of the normal CSF - containing cavities (ventricles) within the brain due to impairment of flow or absorption of the CSF
Hydro = water, cephalo = head Excess water in the brain due to blockage of cerebrospinal fluid flow, increased production, or decreased absorption
This condition refers to an extensive amount of CSF in the ventricular system of the brain, which in turn, gives rise to an increase in the intercranial pressure If untreated, Hydrocephalus can kill
(hye-dro-SEF-uh-lus): The abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain
An abnormally large amount of fluid in the skull A condition marked by dilatation of the ventricles of the brain
When too much 'cerebrospinal' fluid is collected inside the brain, which may cause rapid increase in head size A lower than normal level of blood calcium
Enlargement of fluid-filled cavities in the brain, not due to brain atrophy
An enlarged head caused by cerebral spinal fluid accumulating in the cranial cavity; often causes brain damage and severe retardation A condition present at birth or developing soon afterward, it can sometimes be treated successfully with a shunt
a condition where there is extra cerebrospinal fluid in the brain that does not drain well, causing enlarged ventricles
a condition caused by an abnormal build-up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain Hydrocephalus can be present at birth or acquired There is no known way to prevent or cure hydrocephalus, but the most common treatment is to surgically insert a shunt–a flexible tube placed into the brain’s ventricular system–that diverts the CSF into another region of the body for absorption
an excessive amount of cerebrospinal fluid usually under increased pressure within the skull The condition may be congenital, result from a head injury brain hemorrhage, infection or tumor
Enlarged head, water on the brain Dropsy
Presence of increased spinal fluid pressure within the ventricles of the brain
An abnormal amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's ventricles
water on the brain
the lack of absorption, blockage of flow, or overproduction of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) that is found inside of the ventricles (fluid-filled areas) inside of the brain This may result in a build up of fluid, which may cause the pressure inside of the head to increase and the skull bones to expand to a larger-than-normal appearance
It is due usually to tubercular meningitis
A condition, usually congenital, marked by an excessive accumulation of fluid in the cerebral ventricals, dilating these cavities, thinning the brain, and causing a separation of the cranial bones; there may also be an accumulation of fluid in the subarachnoid space
A condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricles of the brain This leads to an enlargement of the head
an abnormal condition in which cerebrospinal fluid collects in the ventricles of the brain; in infants it can cause abnormally rapid growth of the head and bulging fontanelles and a small face; in adults the symptoms are primarily neurological
A condition where excess fluid accumulates in the brain This may result in an increased head size in the infant In severe cases it is necessary to remove some fluid to relieve pressure on the brain
too much fluid in the brain The brain is kept buoyant in the skull by cerebrospinal fluid, which is continually produced and reabsorbed Either blocking the flow out of fluid, or reabsorption, will result in hydrocephalus Only in infants does this enlarge the head, since the bones of the skull are not yet fused Causes include congenital defects, meningitis, tumours, injury Treatments include shunting, which drains the excess fluid out of the brain, generally into the abdominal cavity It sometimes corrects itself
An accumulation of liquid within the cavity of the cranium, especially within the ventricles of the brain; dropsy of the brain
Accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles (cavities) of the brain. Hydrocephalus is caused by overproduction of CSF, congenital blockage that prevents drainage (see neural tube defect), or complications of head injuries or infections. Normally, CSF circulates through the brain and spinal cord and drains into the circulation. In infants and young children, hydrocephalus causes the brain and skull to enlarge because the fontanels have not yet closed. Without surgery to divert the excess fluid into the blood or abdomen, accumulating fluid eventually compresses the brain, causing convulsions, mental retardation, and death
{i} (Medicine) hydrocephaly, abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain
When it occurs in infancy, it often enlarges the head enormously
