The term hydrocephalus is a neurological condition, where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid fills the cavities (ventricles) of the brain and the spinal cord. Increase in the cerebrospinal fluid widens the ventricular spaces in the brain and exerts pressure on the brain tissues.
