Riassunto
Si definisce “idrocefalo” (dal greco hydōr = acqua e kephalē= testa) l’aumento del volume dei ventricoli cerebrali e/o degli spazi subaracnoidei. Può essere provocato dalla riduzione della massa cerebrale, a sua volta conseguente ad anomalie congenite o a malattie degenerative, o essere dovuto a eccessivo volume liquorale. Solo quest’ultima condizione patologica è suscettibile di trattamento.
