|
There is disbalance between production and absorbtion
|
|
|
There is blockage caused by hematoma in third ventricle
|
|
|
blockage between two lateral ventricles
|
|
|
Clnical picture reveals normal production of CSF but absorbtion supposed to be increased
|
Detailed explanation-1: -When an injury or illness alters the circulation of CSF, one or more of the ventricles becomes enlarged as CSF accumulates. In an adult, the skull is rigid and cannot expand, so the pressure in the brain may increase profoundly. Hydrocephalus is a chronic condition. It can be controlled, but usually not cured.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder caused by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles (cavities) deep within the brain. This excess fluid causes the ventricles to widen, putting harmful pressure on the brain’s tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrocephalus (HC) is classically defined as dynamic imbalance between the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leading to enlarged ventricles.
Detailed explanation-4: -The CSF disperses from the ventricles around the brain and spinal cord. Too much CSF may result in a buildup of fluid that can cause the pressure inside of the head to increase. In a child, this causes the bones of the skull to expand and separate to a larger-than-normal appearance.
