Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus, a condition characterised by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's ventricles, leads to increased pressure within the skull. Symptoms of hydrocephalus include headaches, nausea, balance issues, and cognitive impairments. Early diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus with surgical shunt insertion is essential for better patient outcomes.
