Europe's largest organisation dedicated to supporting individuals and families as they face the challenges arising from spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles (cavities) of the brain with little or no increase in pressure. Under normal conditions, about a pint of CSF is produced daily in the adult brain. This circulates through the ventricles and the brain and spinal cord carrying nutrients to the brain and acting as a buffer to prevent injury. NPH results when the flow of CSF is blocked in some way. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support
