Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, causing an increase in intracranial pressure. The treatment mentioned involves the insertion of a shunt, which is a valve and tube system that helps drain the excess fluid into the bloodstream. This helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with hydrocephalus.
