Parents of this little baby suffering from a medical condition known as Hydrocephalus are lamenting after being unable to take care of their child medically due to financial restraints. According to reports, the little baby who was delivered last month in Jos, Plateau state – has been in pains following the gathering of fluids in her brain and also her back.
Hydrocephalus is a brain condition that happens when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the clear, watery fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord — can’t drain from the brain. It then pools, causing a buildup of fluid in the skull.
Hydrocephalus (also called “water on the brain” can make babies’ and young children’s heads swell to make room for the excess fluid.
Older kids, whose skull bones have matured and fused together, have painful headaches from the increased pressure in the head.
