Abstract:
Hydrocephalus is a common disease caused by the disorder of the physiological metabolism of cerebrospinal fluid.The damage mechanism is abnormal expansion of the ventricular system and impairment to the surrounding brain tissue.Hydrocephalus in children can show individual clinical symptoms along with the age of onset and different causes,leading to brain growth retardation.It is particularly important to understand its pathogenesis and etiology and put forward targeted treatment strategies by early diagnosis.This paper reviews the pathophysiology,etiology and characteristic manifestations of hydrocephalus in children.
