What is hydrocephalus and how can it affect children’s brains? Hydrocephalus is a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, which can cause multiple issues for kids. With our pediatric expertise and prompt hydrocephalus treatment, kids can get the care they need.
In this video, learn about hydrocephalus symptoms, causes and how we treat kids with fluid on the brain. Children at different ages have different symptoms, so it’s important to understand what to look for. Treatment for hydrocephalus typically involves placement of a shunt, but we offer alternative treatments in some cases.
