   What causes hydrocephalus ex vacuo?

   • Hydrocephalus ex-vacuo results from brain damage caused by stroke or injury. In these cases, brain tissues around the ventricles shrink, and the ventricles are bigger because of this. It is not a true hydrocephalus but a “hydrocephalus look-alike” condition. How is hydrocephalus diagnosed and treated? Diagnosing hydrocephalus

The brain may shrink in older patients or those with Alzheimer’s disease, and CSF volume increases to fill the extra space. In these instances, the ventricles are enlarged, but the pressure usually is 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.

    Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in cavities called ventricles deep within the brain. The excess fluid increases the size of the ventricles and puts pressure on the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid usually flows through the ventricles and bathes the brain and spinal column.
