A member asked:
Do hydrocephalus stop hair growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: In general, there is no direct correlation of hydrocephalus and hair growth impairment. However, if the hydrocephalus is associated with hormonal changes due to problems with the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, hair growth could be affected.
