Communicating Hydrocephalus
The general practitioner and, above all, the neurosurgeon are the ones who guide the evaluation of communicating hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain in which this fluid circulates between the cavities but is not reabsorbed properly.
What it is: The excess fluid increases the pressure inside the skull and can affect the functioning of the brain.
Signs that may appear: Headache, changes in gait or balance, memory disturbances, and, in some cases, in urinary control.
When to seek care? If these symptoms appear or progress without a clear explanation. Recognizing them in time and consulting a professional allows for an appropriate approach.
