Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Without treatment, hydrocephalus can cause intellectual disabilities and neurological damage due to increased pressure on the brain. Spina bifida is a separate condition that involves a defect in the development of the spinal cord, but it can be associated with hydrocephalus. Heart disease and paralysis are not typically associated with hydrocephalus. Autism and Down syndrome are genetic conditions and are not directly related to hydrocephalus.
