   What causes hypersecretory hydrocephalus?

   • Hypersecretory hydrocephalus is caused by an overproduction of CSF, most likely due to plexus papilloma or rarely a carcinoma. These tumors are more common in children. Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a type of communicating hydrocephalus with increased incidence in older age with a not fully understood pathogenesis.

   What causes hydrocephalus ex-vacuo?

   • Hydrocephalus ex-vacuo results from brain damage caused by head injury or stroke. In these cases, brain tissue around your ventricles shrinks. CSF builds up in your ventricles to fill in the extra space. Your ventricles are enlarged, but pressure in your head usually remains normal.

This excess fluid causes your ventricles to widen, which puts harmful press on the tissues of your brain. Currently, there isn’t a cure for hydrocephalus, but it can be treated.
