Diagnosis of hydrocephalus

Diagnostic imaging of the head is extremely useful. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable evaluation of whether the ventricles are enlarged and whether a possible cause can be identified. Methods of investigating the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid can also be used in assessing the condition.
