In the fluid-filled cavities or ventricles of the brain, excess cerebrospinal fluid can accumulate, causing the disease known as hydrocephalus. The words "hydrocephalus" and "cephalus," which both signify the head in Greek, are the source of the phrase. The phrase, which translates as "water on the brain," really describes the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, a clear organic liquid that covers the brain and spinal cord. The causes of hydrocephalus are poorly known. While some types of hydrocephalus appear at birth, others only manifest as children or adults. Brain tumours, head injuries, haemorrhages, or illnesses like meningitis can all cause hydrocephalus. It can also be inherited genetically, be linked to developmental problems like spina bifida or encephalocele, or result from any of the above. Hydrocephalus can be categorised based on its onset, the existence of structural flaws, or high vs. normal CSF pressures.
