How does hydrocephalus impact the spine and its structure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Independent: Hydrocephalus is just increased brain fluid. However, it can be a result of a defect of drainage at the entry to the spine. Spinal defects can be part of complex defects that can include hydrocephalus - such as spina bifida.
