Hydrocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders are complex neurological conditions that require expert evaluation and precise management. Dr. Pavan Badugu, a highly experienced neurosurgeon at Andhra Prime Hospital, specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of CSF-related disorders. With over 10 years of experience, he is renowned for performing advanced surgical procedures that provide relief, improve symptoms, and enhance the quality of life for patients suffering from hydrocephalus and related conditions.
Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain’s ventricles, causing increased pressure.
At Andhra Prime Hospital, Dr. Pavan offers specialized care for a range of hydrocephalus and CSF-related disorders, including:
Congenital & Acquired Hydrocephalus: Excessive CSF buildup in the brain due to birth defects, infections, trauma, or tumors.
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH): A form of hydrocephalus typically seen in older adults, causing gait disturbances, dementia-like symptoms, and urinary incontinence.
Post-Traumatic & Post-Surgical CSF Leaks: CSF leaks that occur after head trauma or surgery, leading to headaches, infections, and neurological issues.
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH): Increased CSF pressure around the brain without an apparent cause, resulting in headaches, vision problems, and neurological symptoms.
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH): Low CSF pressure due to spontaneous leaks, causing severe headaches and neurological symptoms.
