L’hydrocéphalie (du grec ancien ὕδωρ / húdôr (« eau ») et κεφαλή / kephalế (« tête »)) est une anomalie neurologique sévère, définie par l'augmentation du volume des espaces contenant le liquide cérébro-spinal (LCS) : ventricules cérébraux et espace sous-arachnoïdien. Cette dilatation peut être due à une hypersécrétion de LCS, un défaut de résorption, ou une obstruction mécanique des voies de circulation.Dans les familles issues de mariages entre apparentés, l'enfant consanguin a 13 fois plus de risques de développer une hydrocéphalie.
