Hydrocephalus is an abnormal increase in the cerebrospinal (spinal) fluid in the cranial cavity, a disorder in cerebrospinal fluid dispersal and circulation or its excessive secretion. This causes increased pressure inside the skull. It can be due to the adhesive process caused by neuroinfection, head trauma and brain tumors, or congenital malformations of the brain and its membranes. Newborn children with hydrocephalus exhibit a characteristic increase in the head size, the veins on the skull become more obvious, and the eyes close up like a setting sun.
