| # | Term | Definition | From Set |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | hydrocephaly | bones in head of baby do not fully close or fuse and allows CSF to accumulate--not circulate properly in around brain and spinal cord. | Chapter 8 |
| 2 | Hydrocephaly | A buildup of cerebrospinal fluid within brain cavities | Psychology: Chapter 11 |
| 3 | Hydrocephaly | Cause: Usually no genetic mechanism, although an X-linked stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius has been reported. Infection has been linked to producing blockages in the circulation of the cerebral spinal fluid. Major Diagnostic Findings: Increased head size. Protruding eyes. Poor motor development. Neurological abnormalities with mental retardation ranging from none to profound. The flow of cerebral spinal fluid is blocked as it circulates in the brain. If the blockage occurs before the bones of the skull have ossified (hardened), then the resulting pressure will expand the size of the cranium. If the blockage occurs after the ossification of the cranium, the brain material is compressed with resulting damage. Treatment: A shunt (drainage tube) can be surgically placed to drain the fluidfrom the ventricles of the brain to the heart chamber, peritoneum, or kidneys. Hydrocephaly | psychiatric disorders |
