> Hydrocephalus

Many cases of hydrocephalus occur as an secondary defect. In addition, some cases are caused by an underlying chromosome abnormality or genetic condition.

In the absence of a known genetic cause, genetic testing for non-affected, close relatives is unavailable. Other types of testing may be available on a case by case basis.

Further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional may be warranted. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
