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
