Daily Implant Flush May Lower Hydrocephalus Surgery Rates
Hydrocephalus, commonly known as fluid or water on the brain, can occur in the womb or be caused by hemorrhage, tumors, trauma or infection. The "water" in this case is an excess of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's cavities. As fluid accumulates, pressure builds in the brain, compressing and damaging tissues. This often leads to physical and behavioral changes like headache, seizures and sluggishness, among many others, and it can be fatal. While there is no cure for hydrocephalus, it can be managed by surgical placement of a shunt to divert the CSF out of the brain.
