Hydrocephalus & Child Development

There can be difficulties associated with Hydrocephalus such as problems with concentration, reasoning and short-term memory. Hydrocephalus can also result in subtle effects such as problems with co-ordination, motivation and organisational skills. Physical effects such as visual problems, or early puberty in children, may also occur. These difficulties may affect child development. However, many of these effects can be overcome with teaching strategies or treatment where relevant.
