A member asked:

I had hydrocephalus as a newborn, but it balanced out and it didnt need draining. i was wondering could it come back? ive been having migraines recently and am wondering if i developed hydrocephalus since i had it at birth

Basics: Special brain cells constantly generate fluid (CSF) that supports the structure & circulates around & within cushion like layers. It is made daily & excess ends up absorbed from various vessels over the brain surface. If there is a blockage in its flow or it cannot be absorbed hydrocephalus can develop. If this resolved as an infant I cannot see it as returning at your age. Discuss with your doc.
