What (who) is hydrocephalus$36419$ - definition

CONDITION IN WHICH THERE IS EXCESS CEREBROSPINAL FLUID IN THE VENTRICLES, AND WITH NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY ELEVATED CEREBROSPINAL FLUID PRESSURE

Hydrocephalus, normal pressure; Hakim-Adams syndrome; Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Communicating hydrocephalus; Adam's triad; Adams triad; Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; Hakim's triad; Hakim triad; Malresorptive hydrocephalus; Evan's index; Normal-pressure hydrocephalus

Normal pressure hydrocephalus

Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), also called malresorptive hydrocephalus, is a form of communicating hydrocephalus in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) occurs in the ventricles, and with normal or slightly elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure. As the fluid builds up, it causes the ventricles to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase, compressing surrounding brain tissue and leading to neurological complications.

Thoracic dysplasia-hydrocephalus syndrome

HUMAN DISEASE

Thoracic dysplasia-hydrocephalus syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by shortening of the ribs, narrowing of the chest, mild shortening of the limbs (rhizomelia), hydrocephalus, and variable developmental delays. It has been described in two siblings born to consanguineous Pakistani parents.

L1 syndrome

MEDICAL CONDITION

Corpus callosum hypoplasia, retardation, aphasia, spastic paraplegia and hydrocephalus; CRASH syndrome; L1CAM syndrome; Corpus callosum hypoplasia-retardation-adducted thumbs-spasticity-hydrocephalus syndrome

L1 syndrome is a group of mild to severe X-linked recessive disorders that share a common genetic basis. The spectrum of L1 syndrome disorders includes X-linked complicated corpus callosum dysgenesis, spastic paraplegia 1, MASA syndrome, and X-linked hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius (HSAS).

Wikipedia

Normal pressure hydrocephalus

Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), also called malresorptive hydrocephalus, is a form of communicating hydrocephalus in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) occurs in the ventricles, and with normal or slightly elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure. As the fluid builds up, it causes the ventricles to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase, compressing surrounding brain tissue and leading to neurological complications. The disease presents in a classic triad of symptoms, which are memory impairment, urinary frequency, and balance problems/gait deviations (note: this diagnosis method is obsolete). The disease was first described by Salomón Hakim and Adams in 1965.

The treatment is surgical placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to drain excess CSF into the lining of the abdomen where the CSF will eventually be absorbed. NPH is often misdiagnosed as other conditions including Meniere's disease due to balance problems, Parkinson's disease (due to gait) or Alzheimer's disease (due to cognitive dysfunction).
