Water in the head

No, it’s not a game, matter of fact, it’s a physical problem in the head… called hydrocephalus. The simplest explanation I could find about this situation is building up of a certain fluid in the head that causes it to expand.

Though the recorded incidence of hydrocephalus is just about 3 in 1000 births, it can still occur at any age. Causes could be genetic disorders and/or the irregular development of the fetus. Or the condition could arise from tumors, haemorrhages or head injuries.

Hydrocephalus treatment usually involves planting a shut, which diverts the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid to other areas of the body, where it can be absorbed.
