Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics in Refractory Hydrocephalus

Caption

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) normally circulates through the brain’s ventricles to cushion and nourish neural tissue. In refractory hydrocephalus, CSF accumulates abnormally, enlarging the ventricles and persisting despite standard treatments. This illustration visualizes CSF buildup and ventricular expansion, helping clinicians and readers understand the underlying problem and the need for subtype-specific, personalized management strategies.
