Do hydrocephalus cause breathing problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If bad enough: If mild unlikely, but if severe enough to cause brainstem ischemia, you bet it can. Whole variety of respiratory problems including cheyne-stokes, apneurstic breathing, and even irregular ataxic respirations. If you are having problems contact your doctor now.
