Causes of hydrocephalus after traumatic brain injury?

  Some patients may develop hydrocephalus after traumatic brain injury and require further surgical treatment, then hydrocephalus after traumatic brain injury occurs due to some of the following factors: 1, blood accumulation in the subarachnoid space, accumulation of blood fibrosis, arachnoid granules in the sagittal sinus, affecting the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in the formation of traffic hydrocephalus; in the skull base, adhesions block the circulatory pathway of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus; 2, blood clots block the midbrain conduit or the exit of the four ventricles, causing obstructive hydrocephalus; 3, sometimes trauma causes occlusion of large venous sinuses, which obstructs venous return and leads to impaired absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, causing hydrocephalus; 4, brain contusion injury after the formation of cerebral softening foci, resulting in brain atrophy and passive enlargement of the ventricles, forming hydrocephalus.
