What is hydrocephalus?. Abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain. Results in elevated intracranial pressure and compression of the brain. Caused by impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, flow or re-absorption.. The physiology of CSF is a complex topic, and treatment for hydrocephalus typically depends on its cause. Cerebrospinal Fluid and Hydrocephalus: Physiology, Diagnosis, and TreatmentAndreas K. Filis, M The term Hydrocephalus comes from the two Greek words: 'hydro' which means water, and 'cephalus' which means head. In years past, it was commonly called 'water on the brain'. Put simply it is a condit The causes of hydrocephalus are not all well understood. Hydrocephalus may result from genetic inheritance (aqueductal stenosis) or developmental disorders such as those associated with neural tube de
