Extractions: Throughout you will read stories and information that will hopefully help out and give you some expectations of what's ahead. It will also provide support for new, seasoned parents and loved ones. It will also touch briefly on the scientific aspects of Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. However, my main purpose is to share what my family and I felt when we first found out about our daughter and how we continue to feel. I hope you find it comforting, encouraging, informing and strengthing. Additionally and most importantly, I hope this site will make you feel like you're not alone.

Extractions: 1.3 Congenital hydrocephalus ... edit Hydrocephalus can be broadly classified as being caused by disturbance to normal production, flow or absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. The most common cause of hydrocephalus is disruption to cerebrospinal fluid circulation, which can be secondary to tumor hemorrhage infection or congenital malfomations. It can also be caused by overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid. Hydrocephalus exists in two forms: communicating edit Communicating hydrocephalus otherwise known as "non-obstructive hydrocephalus" is caused by inadequate absorption of cerebrospinal fluid when the ventrical pathways are not obstructed. edit Non-communicating hydrocephalus, or "obstructive hydrocephalus", is caused by a blockage in the ventrical pathways through which the cerebrospinal fluid flows.

http://www.nyneurosurgery.org/hydrointro.htm

Extractions: Prior to the advent of computerized axial tomography (CAT scans), the prognosis for children with hydrocephalus was generally poor. It was believed that an abbreviated life span would be plagued by numerous shunt revisions and associated complications. There was little optimism concerning physical and intellectual well-being over the course of a lifetime; patients, families and physicians were exasperated by the many problems associated with the equipment available to manage the condition. The CAT scan has changed this situation enormously. Most patients and families can now look forward to the likelihood of normal longevity with little or no intellectual or physical impairment. To assure this, however, the neurosurgeon must be highly experienced in treating hydrocephalus and must keep continually informed of advances in the understanding the condition and its treatment.

Extractions: What is hydrocephalus? With hydrocephalus there is an abnormal build-up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in cavities ( the ventricles) in the brain. The resulting increased pressure on the brain causes the clinical signs that occur with this condition. Hydrocephalus can be primary (congenital ) - the animal is born with the condition, or secondary - the condition is acquired later in life due to some disease process that blocks normal drainage of the CSF. The primary form, discussed here, is seen most often in brachycephalic (dogs with a shortened head) and toy breeds. How is hydrocephalus inherited? The mode of inheritance is unknown, but there is a predisposition to this condition in the breeds listed below. What breeds are affected by hydrocephalus Toy breeds - Cairn terrier, chihuahua, Maltese, Manchester terrier, pomeranian, toy poodle, Yorkshire terrier - and brachycephalic breeds - Boston terrier, English bulldog, Lhasa apso, Pekingese, Shih tzu For many breeds and many disorders, the studies to determine the mode of inheritance or the frequency in the breed have not been carried out, or are inconclusive. We have listed breeds for which there is a consensus among those investigating in this field and among veterinary practitioners, that the condition is significant in this breed. What does hydrocephalus Puppies with severe hydrocephalus often die at a very early age due to pressure from the increased fluid in the brain. In other less severely affected pups, the signs gradually become apparent over the first few months of life, and in some mild cases the condition is only diagnosed later in life.

Extractions: or Nancy Bradley (see above) Who am I ? I am a thirty-six year old woman with hydrocephalus who has been shunted since birth. I am a graduate of the University of Southern California with a B.S. in education and the mother of two healthy children. In November of 1986, I became pregnant with my first child. The pregnancy was normal with no complications but the delivery turned out to be a very difficult vaginal delivery due to the size and position (posteriorhead down, face up) of the baby. Six weeks after his birth, I had a sudden onset of shunt malfunction symptoms that lead to an emergency revision. My husband and I were convinced that the difficult delivery and the shunt malfunction six weeks later were somehow related. Because I found very little information on pregnancy and maternal hydrocephalus in the years immediately following my sons birth, I started the database in 1994 to see how other shunted mothers had fared during their pregnancies, deliveries, and postpartum periods.

The Role Of Neurotrophins.....in Infantile Hydrocephalus.
Infantile hydrocephalus studies, theories and findings toward developing potential therapeutic strategies.
http://www.ufbi.ufl.edu/~coleman/project.html

Extractions: Abstract The pathophysiology of infantile hydrocephalus is poorly understood and is complicated by underlying brain developmental processes. Early-onset hydrocephalus in the H-Tx rat provides an opportunity to investigate this. Neurotrophic factors play an important role in promotion of neuronal connectivity and survival and become upregulated in a variety of brain insults. Using the chick ganglion bioassay for protein levels and in situ hybridization for mRNA expression and localization, this project will study changes in forebrain neurotrophic factors at different stages of ventricular dilatation and the effect of shunt treatment on these changes. The results will enable potential therapeutic strategies to be designed for testing in animal models and eventually in humans. Hypothesis The long-term goal of this research project is to provide a scientific basis for potential therapeutic administration of appropriate neurotrophins to treat hydrocephalus. The hypotheses to be tested are that: 1. Neurotrophin levels and neurotrophin gene expression are altered by the trauma of infantile hydrocephalus. 2. Shunt treatment will affect these changes, depending on the age at the time of surgery. Through the identification and localization of specific neurotrophins affected by hydrocephalus and by shunt-treatment, a rationale will be formulated to test possible therapeutic strategies which will reduce the neurological consequences of hydrocephalus.

Extractions: Hydrocephalus What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Hydrocephalus, also known as "water on the brain," is a condition in which there is extra cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid acts as a cushion for the brain and spinal cord, supplies nutrients and takes away waste products. Hydrocephalus occurs when there are problems with the flow or absorption of cerebrospinal fluid.

Extractions: Anormalidades del Sistema Nervioso Central La hidrocefalia se define normalmente como la presencia en exceso de líquido céfalo raquídeo (LCR) dentro del cráneo. Sin embargo, en ocasiones a esta situación se le da el nombre de ventrículos dilatados, y el empleo del término hidrocefalia se restringe para referise a cuando aumenta la presión intracraneal. La hidrocefalia congénita se produce en el rango de 0.3 a 0.8 por cada mil nacidos, y generalmente se debe a una obstrucción de la vía del LCR. Cuando se identifica la hidrocefalia fetal es conveniente examinar al niño en busca de otras malformaciones, puesto que aproximadamente del 70 al 85% de los fetos con hidrocefalia presentan alguna otra anormalidad. Entre el 50 al 60% de estos fetos presentan una anormalidad del SNC asociada. Mediante ultrasonido, Approximately 50 to 60 percent of these fetuses have an associated CNS abnormality, with myelomeningocele composing 30 percent of this group. Sonographically, the hydrocephalus may be obscured on the side of the head closest to the ultrasound transducer and more obvious in the hemisphere distant from the transducer. This is known as an artifact. The prognosis of a fetus with hydrocephaly depends primarily on the presence and severity of associated abnormalities. Morbidity increases with the presence of abnormalities outside the CNS, and neurological prognosis depends on the presence of associated CNS abnormalities. Extensive counseling and amniocentesis are recommended in all cases of fetal hydrocephaly.
