Hydrocephalus, CT scan C018 / 0568
Hydrocephalus. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain of a 22 year old patient with hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain). This is a condition in which there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the liquid that surrounds and cushions the brain. This leads to dilation of the ventricles (yellow), the cavities in the brain that circulate CSF, and the compression of the brain tissue. Treatment is with drainage of the fluid

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a CT scan revealing hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The image depicts the colored computed tomography scan of a 22-year-old patient, highlighting the severity and impact of this disorder. In this visual representation, one can observe the dilation of ventricles, indicated by vibrant yellow hues. These ventricles are responsible for circulating CSF throughout the brain and spinal cord but become enlarged due to fluid build-up in hydrocephalus cases. Consequently, this leads to compression on surrounding brain tissue. The photograph serves as both an educational tool and a testament to medical advancements in diagnostic imaging. It provides valuable insight into neurology and highlights how technology such as CT scans aids doctors in accurately diagnosing conditions like hydrocephalus. While treatment for hydrocephalus typically involves draining excess fluid from the affected area, this image reminds us of the complexity involved in managing such disorders within our incredible human bodies. Captured by ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this striking print is not only visually stunning but also offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate scientific photography's ability to shed light on various diseases affecting individuals worldwide.
