Communicating hydrocephalus

November 3, 2016 by

Communicating hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus is the condition where the fluid spaces in the brain (Ventricles) become enlarged. One of the three basic types is known as Communicating Hydrocephalus. This is a condition where the Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) inside of the ventricles communicates or is open to, the fluid spaces surrounding the brain. This type usually occurs as a result of some sort of dysfunction of the absorption channels known as the Arachnoid Villi.
