Hydrocephalus affects one in every 500 live births, making it one of the most common [[birth defect]]s, more common than [[Down syndrome]] or [[deafness]]. There are an estimated 700,000 children and adults living with hydrocephalus, and it is the leading cause of brain surgery for children in the United States.
*The incidence, prevelance and case-fatality rates of hydrocephalus are given below:<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.3171/2017.10}}</ref><ref name="pmid12599846">{{cite journal |vauthors=Christensen JH, Hansen LK, Garne E |title=[Congenital hydrocephalus--prevalence and prognosis.
