| Popis: | Benign external hydrocephalus (BEH) is a subtype of hydrocephalus. It is common in boys and characterised by rapid increases in head circumference (HC), enlarged subarachnoid spaces and normal or moderately enlarged ventricles. Most infants with BEH are born with a normal HC that starts to grow too rapidly after birth. BEH predisposes infants for increased intracranial pressure, subdural haematoma (SDH), retinal haemorrhages and epileptic seizures. |
