Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure that treats hydrocephalus is a cerebrospinal fluid shunt. This involves the surgical placement of a shunt that diverts the excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another part of the body where it can be absorbed. The other choices listed (positron emission tomography, lumbar puncture, and anticonvulsants) do not directly treat hydrocephalus.
