Aresorptive hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus or hydrocephalus is a general name for a group of progressive disorders in which the volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) exceeds normal physiological requirements. Hydrocephalus is manifested by an increase in the size of the head in children. When adults are born with the condition, symptoms usually appear between 9 and 18 months of age. Symptoms of the disease: - Increase in head size; - Frequent headaches that are difficult to treat with analgesics; - Politeness; - Frequent urination, desire to drink; - Vomiting, as frequent vomiting can lead to dehydration. Treatment:

Methods such as injecting drugs into the dura mater or a lumbar pump may be used to restore the patency of the canals. However, in some patients

The aresorptive type of hydrocephalus capitis is rare and is usually a congenital condition. This is a form of the disease in which the fluid released from the brain does not pass through the channels between the bones and the brain and is not released from the body - as a result, the patient develops spinal hydrocephalus. Unlike the usual lysis form of hydrocephalus, an aresorptive disease manifests itself later - as it grows. This condition is also called infantile aresorptive hydrocephalus. In the 2nd year of life, external compression of the basal cisterns develops, the cisterns are compressed and stop producing cerebrospinal fluid. Slower brain growth leads to tumor development. The external tissues of the face shift upward, the nose is pulled under the skin, the eyes become smaller, and the ears become deformed. Cramps increase atrophy of the muscles that impinge on the teeth and salivary glands.

With the aresorptive type of hydrocephalus, there are no other secondary symptoms characteristic of the development of the classic spinal form: nausea, vomiting, blurred vision. The occurrence of paralysis and neuropathies in the limbs is unlikely. The accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cavities of the cerebral ventricles occurs due to dysplasia of the 4th pair of cranial nerves and their irrational position.

Pathological development can occur during birth with various forms:

* true aresorption; * oligodendroglioma (neoplastic formation); * interstitial form;
