Hydrocephalus Symptom Tracker: Your Health Assistant

Living with Hydrocephalus means dealing with Infants: unusually large head, rapid increase in head size, bulging soft spot (fontanelle), vomiting, sleepiness, irritability, poor feeding, seizures, downward deviation of eyes ('sunsetting'), Older children/adults: headache, nausea, vomiting, blurred or double vision, balance problems, gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, lethargy, personality changes, cognitive decline. But here's the truth: Data is your most powerful tool. Every logged symptom reveals patterns—so you can take informed action.

Hydrocephalus is the buildup of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles, causing increased pressure. It can result from various causes like obstruction, poor absorption, or overproduction of CSF. Tracking head circumference (infants), neurological symptoms, and shunt function (if treated) is crucial.

Track Your Hydrocephalus Treatments

Tracking how these common treatments affect your symptoms can help you and your healthcare provider optimize your care plan:

Acetazolamide or Furosemide (temporary, less common)
Treatment is primarily surgical: Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV)

Our tracker helps you monitor when you take medications and how they affect your symptoms over time.
