Abstract
Hydrocephalus is a pathology characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cerebral ventricles (intercommunicating cavities located in areas of the brain) and in the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid and pia mater membranes of the meninges. The aim of this study was to present a review of the literature, with a contemporary character, on Hydrocephalus and its implications on the central nervous system. The present research was carried out during the years 2018 to 2022 through a search of the keywords in the descriptors in Health Science (DECS) and were added in the databases: VHL (Virtual Health Library), Google Scholar, LILACS, PubMed, Scielo. In total, 08 (nine) articles were used as primary search and 33 (thirty-three) articles as secondary search. The titles of the articles included in the present study were those that presented a direct correlation with the keywords, articles up to 05 (five) years old or classic authors of the theme even with a later date. Bibliographic data, such as electronic journals and websites that clearly explain hydrocephalus. Through the analysis of the bibliographic data that were studied, it was noticed that the head of the patient with hydrocephalus suffers more visibility when talking about anatomical structure, and sequelae regarding the Central Nervous System.
