At Dr. Ahmed El-Ghoul’s clinic, we offer advanced solutions for treating hydrocephalus, whether by cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement or using endoscopic brain surgery to naturally drain the fluid. Our goal is to reduce symptoms, restore normal cerebrospinal fluid flow, and improve quality of life safely using the latest surgical techniques.
Hydrocephalus (accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain cavities) can affect children or adults, leading to increased intracranial pressure that may cause severe headaches, enlarged head size in children, or problems with balance, vision, and memory in adults. Fortunately, treatment has become safer and more advanced thanks to modern neurosurgical techniques, including:
Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt (Shunt Surgery): A thin tube is inserted to divert cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another part of the body (e.g., the abdomen) where it is naturally absorbed.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Endoscopy (Endoscopic Surgery): Using a brain endoscope, a precise opening can be created within the cerebrospinal fluid pathways to drain it naturally without the need for a permanent tube. This technique reduces complications and allows faster recovery for the patient.
