Does hydrocephalus affect your immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: As there is such a thing as neuro-endocrine immunologic network in our bodies, i would not be surprised if a mild immunologic effect is detectable in adults with hydrocephalus, although it is not one of the reported features of this condition.
