Hydrocephalus is an excess of cerebro-spinal fluid in the head, often, but not necessarily, present at birth. Excessive swelling can cause accelerated growth of a baby\u2019s head and damage to the brain. Hydrocephalus can also be acquired later in life through trauma of one form or another (\u201cacquired hydrocephalus\u201d), or through still unknown causes in people over age 50 (\u201cnormal pressure hydrocephalus\u201d). The symptoms are often not recognised as requiring special treatment, especially if there is no, or only little, physical impairment. Known as the \u201chidden disability\u201d, the condition typically gives rise directly to lack of motivation, concentration and spatial awareness, poor short-term memory, inertia, learning disabilities, problems of co-ordination, social difficulties, and feelings of rejection and isolation. Later in life it can be associated with, and often mistaken for, dementia.<\/p>\n
