Hydrocephalus

A generic term that describes too much fluid building up within the spaces inside the brain (also known as ventricles). This may occur after aneurysm rupture or bleeding from an AVM and may be life-threatening. Emergency treatment with placement of a drainage tube to relieve the pressure may be required (see below - ventriculostomy).
