Communicating hydrocephalus - what does this mean
Communicating hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid (csf) accumulates in the brain's ventricles, causing increased pressure on the brain. it occurs when there is a blockage or obstruction in the flow of csf between the ventricles, which prevents it from being absorbed back into the bloodstream. this obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions, including congenital malformations, infections, or tumors.
What happens during the disease - communicating hydrocephalus
Communicating hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder caused by an obstruction in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leading to an accumulation of fluid in the ventricles of the brain. this accumulation of csf increases pressure in the ventricles, which can compress and damage the neural tissue of the brain, resulting in a wide range of neurological symptoms. the obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors, including blockages in the ventricles, a malfunctioning of the csf circulation system, or a tumor pressing on the ventricles.
