Abstract
Introduction: Hydrocephalus is abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain. It is of two types: Congenital and acquired.
Case Report: A child, five-year-old, presented to the emergency department with a severe neglected hydrocephalus which was not the complaint of the parents.
Conclusion: Neglected hydrocephalus will leave an irreversible brain damage to the child. The best way to avoid that negligence is to spread health education in all areas with special focus in rural regions.

Keywords: Health education, Huge ventriculomegaly, Hydrocephalus
