Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Extraventricular obstructive hydrocephalus is a form of hydrocephalus in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates because its circulation or reabsorption is hindered outside the system of internal cavities of the brain, which increases the pressure inside the skull.
Common symptoms: It may manifest with headache, nausea, vision disturbances, or changes in the level of alertness; in infants, with an increase in head circumference.
When to see a doctor? Intense and persistent headache, vomiting, or neurological changes require care without delay.
