Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is an excess accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain, which can lead to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue. Alzheimer's disease, while a neurodegenerative condition, does not directly cause hydrocephalus. The other options, such as scarring of the arachnoid mater or blockage of the cerebral aqueduct, can cause disruptions in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and lead to hydrocephalus.
