In addition to having Spina Bifida, complications usually follow. Hydrocephalus was the complication that I was born with. Hydrocephalus is when the fluid in your brain stays in your head. Hydrocephalus could result in expanding the size of your head while causing brain damage. Spina Bifida is Latin for “open spine”. Paralysis was the result of the nerve damage in my spine. After I

For decades aliens have been part of popular culture in the United States. In recent years they have gained even more popularity. Yet, the increase in popularity hasn’t occurred only in sci-fi movies and novels. It has also occurred in the scientific community. Television shows, like Ancient Aliens, have shown how interested a lot of scientists are. Although there is a problem with the increased interest in extraterrestrial life forms. The problems are the claims made about just how much, or how

these symptoms is known as scoliosis. Scoliosis is curvature of the spine. Often children with NF also have learning disabilities that impact writing and use of numbers as well as having increased head circumference which on a rare case can cause hydrocephalus which can be a serious problem (Martin 1). (Martin,1) Symptoms such as café-au-lait spots, freckling and Lisch nodules pose minimal or no health risk to a person, But people with NF2 can get tumors that grow on the vestibular nerves and

In our society where disabilities can be fixed by better and advanced medical technologies or that can get care and welfare, they are nonexistent in Vietnam. In a video about hydrocephalus which is a symptom, the doctor talked about it like it was not a big deal since it is “treatable” and “affordable”. Not everyone has this kind of access. Families from rural areas have to travel to clinics and only the ultrasound is available

Introduction      The first cases of osteogenesis imperfect date back to ancient times, with history of the condition becoming evident when an Egyptian infant mummified around 1000 BC was discovered with skeletal structure similar to those associated with osteogenesis imerfecta (Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation [OIF], 2015b). Researchers also believe a Viking leader in the 9th century who had weak legs and had to be carried into battle, known as "Ivar the Boneless", had osteogenesis imperfect

Unfortunately, Alice died at the age of 2 from hydrocephalus, which is water in the brain. On Emma’s 9th birthday, she was even more prepared to take

within the intracranial space, also includes brain bulk, Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), and brain blood volume. Brain bulk increases after water influx to brain tissue or inflammatory response. CSF dynamics can be changed because of communicating hydrocephalus. Brain blood volume within the arterial and venous systems may cause a secondary injury. Also, it says, Intracranial pressure monitoring possibly will be effectively done by the means of an intraventricular catheter, enabling Cerebrospinal Fluid
