Hydrocephalus in children is a neurological disease that develops as a result of the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, which can lead to various neurological disorders. There are a number of mechanisms of the origin of hydrocephalus, including disruptions in the circulation and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. Recent scientific studies emphasize the important role of ependymal cilia in this process. Ependymal cilia are cells located in various parts of the brain that are involved in ensuring the normal circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. If the movement or function of these cilia is impaired, the accumulation of fluid and increased pressure inside the brain can lead to the development of hydrocephalus. This abstract analyzes the relationship between hydrocephalus and ependymal cilia in children, studying the pathogenesis and clinical significance of this process. Research will help to better understand the role of ependymal cilia in the development of hydrocephalus and will be important in creating new opportunities for treating the disease.
