Get expert, compassionate care for hydrocephalus with advanced neurosurgical solutions tailored to preserve brain function and improve quality of life.
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the brain's ventricles, causing increased pressure that can lead to headaches, balance issues, cognitive decline, and in severe cases, brain damage. This condition can occur at any age, from infancy to late adulthood, and may result from genetic abnormalities, traumatic brain injury, tumors, infections, or complications from surgery.

Using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Yashar works to relieve pressure on the brain while preserving cognitive and neurological function.

Modern shunt systems can last for years, but they may require adjustment or replacement over time. Regular monitoring is essential.
