Greetings Card : Hydrocephalus CT scan
Cards from Science Photo Library
Hydrocephalus CT scan
Hydrocephalus. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial (horizontal) section through the brain of a child with hydrocephalus (water on the brain). The fluid-filled ventricles (red/green) have been enlarged by the excessive production, or blockage in the circulation, of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that fills the spaces in and around the brain and spinal cord. If the condition devel- ops after birth, the head swells up as its bones have not yet fused. In older patients, however, the inflexible skull means pressure on the brain builds up, causing headaches, loss of coordination and deterioration of mental function. Treatment is by draining excess fluid from the brain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a child's brain affected by hydrocephalus, commonly known as "water on the brain". The image depicts an axial section, providing us with a horizontal view of the brain. In this condition, excessive production or blockage in the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leads to enlarged ventricles filled with fluid. For newborns, their heads swell due to unfused bones when hydrocephalus develops after birth. However, older patients face additional challenges as their inflexible skulls prevent expansion and result in increased pressure on the brain. This heightened pressure manifests through symptoms such as headaches, loss of coordination, and deterioration of mental function. The medical community addresses hydrocephalus by draining excess fluid from the brain. By doing so, they alleviate the burden placed upon this vital organ and mitigate associated complications. This CT scan serves not only as an educational tool but also highlights the importance of early detection and treatment for individuals affected by this disorder. Science Photo Library offers this remarkable image that delves into the intricate details of hydrocephalus – a disease impacting countless lives worldwide. Through visual representation like this photograph print, we gain valuable insights into various diseases while fostering greater understanding and empathy towards those living with them.
