With eight chapters, this book provides in-depth details of the symptomatology, physiology, and medical and surgical treatments of hydrocephaly. As a modern treatment modality of hydrocephaly, endoscopic third ventriculostomy occupies a respectable space in this book.

In this book, many experts share their experience and knowledge on different aspects of hy‐ drocephaly, including anatomy, physiology, and medical and surgical treatments. This book will be of interest and provide detailed information for those involved in the management of patients with hydrocephaly.

I would like to thank all the authors who have contributed to this project. Also, I would especially like to thank all kind of people from IntechOpen author services.
