Gallery for Pictures of Children/Babies with Hydrocephalus
One of the most common searches that lead people to this website
is "pictures of babies with hydrocephalus" or some variation on that
idea. The truth of the matter is that when the doctor starts describing
big heads and such with a pregnant Mom or
Dad, it's hard to understand just what this might mean for how
your child may look when they are born. I know I did this very
search myself and mostly what I found were pictures from the 1920's
of untreated hydrocephalus that do not really reflect what is likely
to happen since shunts were invented in the 1960's. Therefore I
have asked some wonderful Mom's for their permission to put pictures
of their beautiful/handsome children here to give parents an idea
of what these kiddos really look like.
