AB  - Hydrocephalus  is  a  condition  in  which  there  is  an  accumulation  of  cerebrospinal  fluid  (CSF)  within  the  ventricles,  leading  to  increased  intracranial  pressure.  Hydrocephalus  may  be  caused  by  increased  production,  decreased  absorption,  or  obstruction  to  flow  of  CSF.  By  contrast,  ventricular  dilatation  due  to  loss  of  brain  tissue  or  atrophy  is  not  considered  to  be  hydrocephalus.
