Hydrocephalus due to tuberculosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1927923756

This is a condition in which inflammatory exudates are almost entirely located in the basal cysterns and extending to the ambiens and sylvian cysterns. The exudates are fibrous and heals producing a dense fibrous tissue that entirely obliterates the CSF pathways and thus producing hydrocephalus.
