MY GRANDSON WAS BORN WITH THIS CONDITION. IS THERE ANY INFORMTION ON WHY THIS HAPPENS. THE BABY WAS FULL TERM. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS ONLY 12 KNOWN CASES OF BABIES BORN LIKE THIS IN THE UNITED STATES. THE DOCTORS ALSO CALL THIS HYROCEPHALUS. AND NOW THE BABY HAS A VP SHUNT TO CONTROL THE SWELLING OF HIS BRAIN. THE BABY IS HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AND SEEMS TO BE DOING FINE BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS.
