French term

d'accidents hydrauliques**

French to English Medical Medical (general) pediatric oncology
This is from a scientific article outlining the adverse effects of chemotherapy when treating children for cancer:

Systeme nerveux central: Les toxicités neurologiques centrales tardives des agents de chimiothérapie sont souvent difficiles à analyser en raison due contexte multifactoriel prédisposant aux séquelles en neuro-oncologie : hypertension intracrânienne, hydrocéphalie (au moment du diagnostic, lors de récidive ou lors **d’accidents hydrauliques** lies à des problèmes de dérivation), …….

I would guess that **d'accidents hydrauliques** has something to do with problems with pressure on the brain, and it is linked to bypass problems, but I can't find any confirmation, or the exact wording.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

hydrocephalus due to CSF circulation ventricular problems


hydrocephalus caused by blockages in the cerebral ventricular system. Nothing to do with "water" or "hydraulic"--means that CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) pressure has built up due to CSF circulation problem .

Your text says hydrocephalus may present at time of primary diagnosis, at time of recurrence or if CSF circulation is disturbed because of ventricular shunting.

Thanks Michael - that sounds great to me!
