The 15 pages that link to Hydrocephalus, each with the reason it gives.

• Cerebrospinal fluidRelated: Blocked flow or impaired absorption can enlarge the ventricles and raise pressure.

• Intracranial pressureRelated: Accumulating cerebrospinal fluid can enlarge ventricles and increase intracranial pressure.

• MeningitisRelated: Inflammation can obstruct fluid flow or absorption and contribute to this complication.

• Cerebral edemaCompared with: Hydrocephalus concerns cerebrospinal fluid spaces; cerebral edema concerns fluid within brain tissue.

• Subarachnoid hemorrhageRelated: Clotted blood can impede fluid circulation or absorption and trigger acute hydrocephalus.

• Brain tumorRelated: A tumor can obstruct cerebrospinal-fluid pathways and produce hydrocephalus.

• NeurocysticercosisRelated: Cysts or inflammation can block fluid pathways, making this a life-threatening complication.

• AchondroplasiaRelated: It is an uncommon complication requiring assessment when head growth or neurological signs raise concern.

• CysticercosisRelated: Cysts or inflammation can obstruct cerebrospinal-fluid flow and cause it.

• Idiopathic intracranial hypertensionCompared with: Ventricular enlargement offers a structural explanation for raised pressure that is typically absent here.

• Chiari malformationRelated: Obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid pathways can sometimes accompany Chiari malformation.

• Fetal brain developmentBroader topic: It can alter brain development through ventricular enlargement and pressure on surrounding tissue.

• MacrocephalyBroader topic: This is a key fluid-related cause of rapidly increasing head circumference.

• SyringomyeliaRelated: It can alter fluid dynamics associated with syrinx development.

• Brain (anatomy)Broader topic: Enlarged ventricles can distort or compress surrounding brain tissue.
