The pathophysiology of hydrocephalus. The schematic diagram on the left shows the
normal circulation of CSF. Any disruption in the processes of CSF circulation,
such as production, movement, or absorption, can lead to the occurrence of
hydrocephalus, as depicted on the right. Neuroinflammation, blood clots, iron
overload, fibrosis, and ependymal dysfunction are recognized as significant
mechanisms of hydrocephalus.
