The 20 Best Hydrocephalus Autosomal Recessive Doctors in Antarctica

Hydrocephalus autosomal recessive disorder is a rare inherited (genetic) condition in which an increased amount of cerebrospinal (CSF) fluid accumulates in the brain, causing an enlargement of the ventricles in the brain, which, in turn, creates increased pressure on the brain. Autosomal recessive means that the disorder was inherited from both parents who are carriers of the mutated L1CAM gene that causes a narrow passage between the third and fourth ventricles of the brain. Hydrocephalus autosomal recessive may occur alone as a congenital disorder or in combination with other malformations.
