Infants with obstructive hydrocephalus present clinically with macrocephaly, sunset sign, vomiting, visual impairment, difficulty in sucking and feeding, strabismus, hoarse cry, head drooping, limb weakness or spastic paralysis, intellectual disability, and even seizures and lethargy. Adults may experience intermittent symptoms such as headache, a sensation of head fullness, dizziness, tinnitus, decreased vision, and lower limb weakness.
