Hydrocephalus surgery in Faridabad, Haryana is an advanced neurosurgical procedure used to treat the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. Dr. Bhoopendra Foujdar, a leading brain and spine surgeon in Faridabad, provides specialized treatment for hydrocephalus using modern techniques like VP shunt and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
Hydrocephalus can affect both children and adults and, if left untreated, can lead to increased brain pressure, neurological damage, and serious complications. Timely surgical intervention ensures effective relief and improved quality of life.
Hydrocephalus surgery is performed to reduce excess fluid buildup in the brain and restore normal pressure.
It is a condition where CSF accumulates in brain cavities (ventricles)
This leads to increased pressure inside the skull
VP Shunt (Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt)
A tube is placed to drain excess fluid from the brain to the abdomen
ETV (Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy)
A minimally invasive procedure creating a new pathway for fluid flow
Hydrocephalus occurs when there is an imbalance between the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid or a blockage in its flow.
