Understanding Hydrocephalus Treatment
Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles, leading to increased intracranial pressure. Treatment typically involves the insertion of a shunt system to drain excess fluid and alleviate pressure. The most common procedure is the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, which diverts CSF from the brain to the abdominal cavity where it can be absorbed. In some cases, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) may be used to create a new pathway for CSF flow within the brain. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms, prevent further brain damage, and improve the patient’s quality of life.
