Dizziness is a common complaint in ambulatory care, comprising 4% to 5% of all visits. AVS is characterized by rapid onset of vertigo, nausea/vomiting, nystagmus and head-motion intolerance. Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
Hydrocephalus is a condition thatâs also known as water on the brain. Hydrocephalus can occur in older children and adults, particularly older adults.
Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain, which may cause increased intracranial pressure (ICP) inside the skull. It may lead to enlargement of the cranium if hydrocephalus occurs during development.he brain produces roughly 500 mL of cerebrospinal fluid per day. This fluid is constantly reabsorbed, so that only 100-160 mL is present at any one time.
