📋Overview
This buildup of fluid often leads to increased intracranial pressure, which can affect brain function and development. The condition may be present at birth or develop later in life due to various underlying factors that disrupt the natural flow or absorption of cerebrospinal fluid.
Clinical observation indicates that this condition involves the ventricular system and is a well-established medical diagnosis. It occurs when the balance between the production and absorption of fluid is altered, potentially leading to neurological symptoms.
