Hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease - what does this mean

Hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease is caused by a blockage in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) due to a tumor or other abnormal growth in the brain or spinal cord. this blockage causes an increase in csf pressure, leading to swelling of the brain and a disruption of normal brain functioning.

What happens during the disease - hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease

Hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease is caused by a blockage in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) due to the presence of a tumor or other mass within the ventricular system. this blockage prevents the normal flow of csf and causes an increase in intracranial pressure, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and confusion. in some cases, the blockage can be relieved through surgery, but in other cases, the only option is to manage the symptoms with medications and other treatments.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • CT Scan
  • MRI Scan
  • Ultrasound
  • Lumbar Puncture
  • Angiogram
  • Blood Tests
  • Spinal Tap
  • Neurological Exam

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal: To reduce the symptoms of hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease.
  • Identify the underlying cause of hydrocephalus
  • Perform a lumbar puncture to reduce the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid
  • Administer medications to reduce inflammation and reduce the production of cerebrospinal fluid
  • Perform a surgical procedure to insert a shunt to drain the excess cerebrospinal fluid
  • Conduct regular follow-up visits to monitor the patient’s condition
  • Provide physical therapy and rehabilitation to improve motor skills
  • Provide psychological support to help the patient cope with the disease

Hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease - Prevention

The best way to prevent hydrocephalus in neoplastic disease is to identify and treat the underlying cancer early on. this can be done through regular screenings and check-ups, as well as timely diagnosis and treatment of any symptoms that may be present. additionally, controlling the spread of the cancer through radiation or chemotherapy can help reduce the risk of hydrocephalus.
