noncommunicating hydrocephalus

Nancy was born with meningitis, septicemia, and hydrocephalus.

That gentleman had lately taken his degree, and had chosen hydrocephalus for the subject of his thesis in the year 1779.

Acute hydrocephalus is another name for tuberculous meningitis (see Meningitis).

Chronic hydrocephalus, or “water on the brain,” consists in an effusion of fluid into the lateral ventricles of the brain.
