Hydrocephaly, also known as "water on the brain," is a condition where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain. This can cause increased pressure on the brain, leading to brain damage. Treatment often involves the implantation of a shunt, a tube that diverts excess fluid from the brain to another part of the body, usually the abdomen.
