Hydrocephalus is the abnormal accumulation of CSF within the brain cavities called ventricles (space near the spine). It occurs due to an imbalance in the formation and absorption rate of the fluid. This results in ventricle enlargement and increasedpressure inside the head.CSF produced in the ventricles is circulated throughout the body through ventricular system into the subarachnoid space that is absorbed into the venous system or the bloodstream. CSF production is approximately 0.2 ml/min to 0.4 ml/min or 500 ml to 600ml per day.
