    Brain CSF is produced in the choroids plexus of the lateral ventricles and flows through the ventricles before exiting from the fourth ventricle. Hydrocephalus is caused by a blockage in the flow of CSF through the ventricles, leading to their dilatation and compression of brain structures. This results in bulging of the skull and thinning of brain tissue, as well as symptoms like frontal bossing, sunken eyes, and bulging fontanelles.
