Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is an excess accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. It can be treated, generally by surgery to insert a shunt to drain the excess fluid. Hydrocephalus does not always have an impact on IQ, and the extent of the impact can vary depending on the severity and timing of the condition.
