Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guan Yanlei
Cerebral fluid accumulation is caused by factors such as cerebral hemorrhage and increased intracranial pressure. Hydrocephalus results from conditions like cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. Intracranial infections can lead to widespread brain damage, disrupt the pathways for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, and thereby cause hydrocephalus. Excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid may occur due to space-occupying intracranial lesions, elevated intracranial pressure, or increased CSF pressure. It is important to promptly identify the underlying cause and take appropriate measures.
