Hydrocephalus is the condition involving an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain.

Solución

1. Identify the condition that involves an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain. 2. By definition, \( \text{hydrocephalus} \) is characterized by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles of the brain. 3. The other options are not defined by an abnormal accumulation of fluid: - A cerebral contusion is a type of brain bruise due to trauma. - ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. 4. Thus, the condition that matches the description is \( \text{hydrocephalus} \).

The Deep Dive

Hydrocephalus, often referred to as "water on the brain," occurs when there's an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles of the brain. This can lead to increased intracranial pressure and can be caused by various factors, including congenital defects, infections, and tumors. Thankfully, there are treatment options like shunt placement to help redirect the fluid and alleviate symptoms, allowing individuals to lead healthier lives. Cerebral contusion, on the other hand, results from a traumatic brain injury, causing bruising of brain tissue. This can happen during a fall, a vehicle accident, or any significant impact to the head. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the severity and location of the injury, ranging from headaches and confusion to more severe cognitive impairments. It's essential to monitor for any worsening symptoms, as complications can arise that require medical intervention.
