What is congenital hydrocephalus?
Congenital hydrocephalus is a buildup of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain that is present at birth. The excess fluid can increase pressure in the baby's brain, possibly resulting in brain damage and loss of mental and physical abilities. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is important to help limit serious long-term problems. But long-term effects of congenital hydrocephalus mostly depend on what causes it, how bad it gets, and how a baby responds to treatment.
You didn't state if you were asking about congenital or Adult onset. Both are two seperate issues & concerns. The link in the source below will get you information on both.
