How does adult hydrocephalus form

summary

Adult hydrocephalus must be paid attention to. Hydrocephalus is caused by many reasons, such as midbrain aqueduct malformation or brain infection in the fetal period, and neonatal or postnatal meningitis can cause skull base adhesion. In adults with hydrocephalus, we should treat it as soon as possible. Today we come to a specific understanding of the causes of hydrocephalus, can help our patients, the right to understand the causes of hydrocephalus. Now I'll introduce it to you

How does adult hydrocephalus form

Hydrocephalus is caused by a variety of factors, the main factors include congenital malformation, then congenital malformation is because during pregnancy, the mother took some drugs or excessive amniotic fluid, this time will cause spina bifida, and midbrain aqueduct stenosis and so on, these diseases affect the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.

Hydrocephalus also includes infection, infection is mainly caused by purulent meningitis, and tuberculous meningitis or ventriculitis, and so on. The proliferation of fibrous tissue will directly block the cerebrospinal fluid, causing the performance of adhesion, so hydrocephalus will occur.

Intracranial hemorrhage will cause fibrous hyperplasia, so it will also cause hydrocephalus. In this case, it is often ignored by people, and it will also directly lead to the formation of hydrocephalus. If there is a tumor in the brain, it will also directly cause compression.

matters needing attention

What we said above is the formation factors of adult hydrocephalus, so when adults have hydrocephalus, we also need early treatment, to avoid damage to our brain tissue after the formation of hydrocephalus.
