More than 1,000 children and infants have been diagnosed with Hydroceplus (excess water in the head) over the last five years, said Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) Neurosurgery Department deputy head and consultant Dr Azmi Alias. He said, from the total, 80 per cent have been successfully treated by surgically inserting Ventriculo-Peritonel or VP-shunt, namely a kind of tube placed in the chamber of the brain to drain the Celebrospinal fluid (CSF), a white liquid which surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
