Hydrocephalus – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/574533444
Hydrocephalus is an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) deep within the brain. This excess fluid causes the ventricles (cavities) within the brain to widen, putting harmful pressure on the brain's tissues. Hydrocephalus may be present at or shortly after birth or may result over time from damage or injury.
