About The Rare Condition: Hydrocephalus

The child in the video is Mohammed, who suffers from Hydrocephalus, a rare condition marked by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. This accumulation puts harmful pressure on brain tissues, often requiring surgical intervention.

Causes of Hydrocephalus

According to Cleveland Clinic, Hydrocephalus can be:

Congenital (present at birth): Caused by genetic and environmental factors like spina bifida, aqueductal stenosis (narrowing in the brain), complications of premature birth, or infections during pregnancy.

Acquired (after birth): Triggered by head trauma, stroke, brain or spinal tumours, meningitis, or complications after surgery.

Symptoms of Hydrocephalus

Symptoms of Hydrocephalus as per medical reports, are:

Infants: Unusually large head, bulging soft spot, downward gaze (sunsetting eyes), vomiting, and sleepiness.

Children: Headaches, nausea, vision problems, and developmental delays.

Adults: Headaches, memory loss, balance issues, and fatigue.

Elderly: Dementia-like symptoms, walking difficulties, and bladder control issues.
