Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrocephalus in adults is most often caused by defective CSF reabsorption, which can occur due to a variety of factors including previous infections, head injuries, brain tumors, or bleeding in the brain. Overproduction of CSF, intercellular edema, and elevated arterial blood pressure can also contribute to hydrocephalus, but are less common causes in adults.
