Patient's question:
Grandma's health is getting worse now. Because recently, Grandma has been feeling particularly uncomfortable in her head. She has also been experiencing severe dizziness and even episodes of fainting. Current observations suggest it could be either (communicating hydrocephalus) or (obstructive hydrocephalus).Doctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an increase in the amount of cerebrospinal fluid within the cranial cavity due to cranial diseases causing excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid or (and) impaired circulation and absorption, leading to expansion of the ventricular system or (and) the subarachnoid space.
