If the amount of fetal hydrocephalus is particularly large, resulting in an increase in fetal size, the pregnant woman may experience a significant increase in uterine height and abdominal circumference.
Hydrocephalus is an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the fetal ventricular system, causing a significant increase in intraventricular pressure. Hydrocephalus can cause more brain damage to the fetus, even affecting the fetus’s intelligence, and in more serious cases, can cause paralysis and developmental disorders after birth.
