Analysis of Variation in Radiological Parameters in Congenital Hydrocephalus After Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement and Its Association with the Functional Outcome

A disease known as hydrocephalus is defined by an abnormal buildup of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles,which can be caused by either excessive CSF production or poor absorption. It may develop later in life (acquired) or be presentfrom birth (congenital). Congenital hydrocephalus is further divided into two categories: non-communicative hydrocephalus,which happens when CSF drainage channels are blocked and communicating hydrocephalus, in which the ventricular systemis unharmed. Congenital hydrocephalus is brought on by several risk factors, such as infections, genetic disorders, pretermbirth and structural abnormalities such as Chiari malformations, Dandy-Walker malformations, neural tube defects, cerebralaqueduct stenosis and corpus callosum agenesis.
