In infancy, the most obvious indication of hydrocephalus is often the rapid increase in head circumference or an unusually large head size.
In older children or adults, symptoms may include headache followed by vomiting, nausea, papilledema (swelling of the optic disk which is part of the optic nerve), blurred vision, diplopia (double vision), sunsetting of the eyes, problems with balance, poor coordination, gait disturbance, urinary incontinence (yeah, I know you didn't need to know that, but it's been a problem lately), slowing or loss of development, lethargy, drowsiness, irritability, or other changes in personality or cognition including memory loss.
I realize that the things bolded in the second section MAY not be caused by my hydrocephalus since I was treated, but as mom said I'm still techincally hydrocehaplic....
