    Communicating hydrocephalus is caused by an overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or impaired absorption of CSF, disrupting normal CSF flow and leading to accumulation and increased pressure. This puts pressure on brain tissue and blood vessels, which can cause ischemia and damage. If untreated, it may lead to learning disabilities, memory deficits, motor skill issues, vision and hearing problems, seizures, and eventually death. Treatment aims to relieve pressure through CSF diversion to prevent neurological complications.

    Communicating Hydrocephalus Pathophysiology

    Predisposing Factors: Precipitating Factors:


    Genetics Tumor in the Choroid
    Age Plexus

    Overproduction of CSF in choroid plexus

    Choroid plexus produces CSF with same volume and


    rate.

    CSF circulates around right and left lateral ventricle then


    to 3rd ventricle the foramen of monro,

    CSF Flows to Aqueduct of sylvius

    4th ventricle

    Impaired absorption of CSF fluid

    Disruption of the normal CSF flow

    Accumulation of CSF

    Increase in CSF pressure and volume Sunset eyes

    Dilation

    Underlying white matter atrophies

    Compression of the brain tissue and cerebral blood vessels


    Ischemia - inadequate blood supply

    If treated : If not treated :


    - Learning Disabilities - Decompensatory mechanism may
    - Memory Deficits continue to occur:
    - Psychological Deficits
    - Motor Skill Disabilities A. Decreased cerebral perfusion
    - Vision Problems B. Decrease PO2 leading to Hypoxia
    - Hearing Disabilities C. Brain Damage
    - Seizures

    Death
