Summary
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast dye can safely and effectively diagnose and monitor hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain) in infants under 1.5 years old. Hydrocephalus affects up to 2 in 500 births and often requires a surgically placed shunt, but current methods to decide on surgery are not always reliable. The study will enroll 20 infants at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to see if this ultrasound method can provide clearer information about brain health without the need for invasive procedures.
