Hydrocephalus Treatment Solutions

Have you or someone you know been recently diagnosed with Hydrocephaulus? Hydrocephalus occurs when the delicate balance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and absorption is disrupted, and it builds up in the brain. This build-up of CSF causes the brain to swell and pressure to increase inside the skull, resulting in nerve damage.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a form of the condition that typically affects older adults. It is often confused with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, making proper diagnosis essential. Codman & Shurtleff, a DePuy company, has solutions to help those with NPH and other types of hydrocephalus.

Does someone you know suffer from hydrocephalus? There is a wonderful facility where you can find the best Hydrocephalus treatment you need for your loved one.

  1. Here is a link to more information about the genetics of Hydrocephalus that was prepared by our genetic counselor and which has links to some useful resources for those dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna.com/condition/Hydrocephalus/191. There is also a phone number listed if you need to speak to a genetic counselor by phone. I hope it helps. Thanks, AccessDNA
