What is hydrocephalus

Well this is a condition very common in baby's with spina bifida. What happens is when the spine is pulled it causes tension at the base of the skull. fluid gets trapped in the ventricles and causes them to swell. The fluid is not absorbed as it should. often a shunt is placed to allow the fluid to drain to the stomach or heart.
