MACROCEPHALYHead circumference >2 S.D./>2.5cm above the mean for the age and sex
Head circumference >97th percentile for the age and sex
Expected HC for a particular child by comparing with standardized charts

CausesBig skull-chronic anemia,osteogenesis imperfecta,rickets
Big brain-megalencephaly(tay-sach),cerebral gigantism
More CSF in ventricles-hydrocephalusAbnormal accumulation-subdural effusion
Familial-commonest cause

HYDROCEPHALUS(Greek-water in head)
DEFINITION: Excessive accumulation of CSF in the ventricular system

TYPES OF HYDROCEPHALUSOBSTRUCTIVE OR NON-COMMUNICATING -at the level of aqueduct 3 mm long & 2 mm wide
NON OBSTRUCTIVE OR COMMUNICATING -increased production -decreased absorption

CAUSES OF HYDROCEPHALUSCOMMUNICATING HYDROCEPHALUS
Increased Production•Tumors in choroid plexus
Decreased AbsorptionCongenital-TORCHAcquired-Meningitis,leukemia

CAUSES OF HYDROCEPHALUS•OBSTRUCTIVE HYDROCEPHALUSCongenitalAqueductal stenosisArnold chiari syndromeDandy-walker syndromeAcquiredAqueductal gliosis-meningitis,bleeding,mumps encephalitis
Posterior fossa tumors-medulloblastoma

TREATMENTSUPPORTIVE:(control of ICP)a.head elevated to 30o b.Control of temperaturec.Control of seizuresd.Maintain BPe.Analgesia and sedation

TREATMENTMEDICAL: (for decreasing the production) _ MANNITOL/ORAL GLYCEROL
-ACETAZOLAMIDE -FUROSEMIDE
SURGICAL:(for obstruction and decreased absorption)V-P SHUNT PLACEMENT

PROGNOSISINCREASED RISK FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
MEAN IQ IS REDUCED COMPARED TO GENERAL POPULATION
ABNORMALITIES IN MEMORY SOME PATIENTS SHOW AGGRESSIVE OR DELINQUENT BEHAVIOR.
