At Medicover Hospitals, Secunderabad, our Pediatric Neurosurgery team successfully treated a 2-year-old child with one of the rarest and most complex forms of hydrocephalus, also known as multiloculated hydrocephalus associated with bobble-head doll syndrome.

The condition caused the child to exhibit incessant "no-no" head shaking movements, which were previously dismissed as normal behavioral habits. Over time, the symptoms progressed and delayed the child's development, prompting the parents to seek advanced medical care at Medicover.

What is Hydrocephalus?

Hydrocephalus is commonly known as "water on the brain". It affects 4-5 children out of every 10,000 births in India. But multiloculated hydrocephalus is rare and considered one of the most difficult variants to treat.

In these children, the fluid chambers of the brain are separated into multiple trapped pockets. This leads to dangerously high pressure, impaired brain function, and delayed developmental milestones.
