Condition in which the volume of CSF is abnormally high and is usually accompanied by increased intracranial pressure is :

  • A.Head injury
  • B.Hydrocephalus
  • C.Calus
  • D.Calculi

Answer: B

The condition is Hydrocephalus.

Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain, caused by blocked flow, poor absorption or excess production. The extra fluid usually raises intracranial pressure, and in infants it enlarges the head.

A head injury may raise intracranial pressure, but it is defined by trauma, not by excess CSF. A callus is the new bone formed at a healing fracture, and calculi are stones, such as kidney or gall stones.
