The nurse is educating new graduated nurses about the pathophysiology of hydrocephalus. Indicate which education points the nurse should include. Select all that apply. Cerebral spinal fluid is absorbed primarily by the arachnoid villi and hydrocephalus can occur if there is malfunction of the arachnoid villi. Cerebral spinal fluid flows through the ventricles due to a pressure gradient that occurs between the ventricular system and venous channels. Cerebral spinal fluid is formed primarily in the spinal cord and hydrocephalus occurs when fatty tissue obstructs the flow through the spinal canal. When the passageway between the 3rd and 4th ventricle is narrowed this can cause obstructive hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus can occur when there is an obstruction in the ventricular system.
