Forum: Hydrocephalus (in memory of Braindrain aka Gina)

Hydrocephalus is a buildup of fluid inside the skull, leading to brain swelling. This puts pressure on the brain, pushing the brain up against the skull and damaging or destroying brain tissues. Hydrocephalus is due to a problem with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
