Summary

This study explores whether a special ultrasound with contrast dye can safely and accurately diagnose and monitor hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain) in infants under 1.5 years old. The goal is to replace or reduce the need for invasive pressure measurements and shunts. Researchers will check how well the ultrasound works and if it causes any side effects in 20 babies.
