Hydrocephalus and Children

Page Revised : 26June2008

Learning about hydrocephalus is important for both the diagnosed child and their parents and carers. Benny Bear helps everyone understand how an operation can help and through his adventures what the child can and can't do as they grow up.

“A diagnosis of hydrocephalus can be worrying for both children and their parents. I hope that those children lucky enough to meet Benny the Bear in hospital will read this book and discover that hydrocephalus needn't be scary.”

Mr Conor Mallucci, Consultant Paediatric Neurosurgeon, Alderhey Children's Hospital, Liverpool.
