Hydrocephalus is a life-threatening condition that occurs in about 1 in 1,000 newborns and is often treated with invasive surgery. Now, a new study offers hope for preventing hydrocephalus before it even occurs. Also known as water on the brain, hydrocephalus is caused by an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that increases pressure inside the skull and can damage brain tissue. About 40 percent of hydrocephalus cases are caused by single gene mutations that affect the brain’s ability to reabsorb CSF fluid. The most common treatment for hydrocephalus is surgery to create a drain that drains the fluid. This is…
