Fabrication and In Vivo Testing of a Sub-mm Duckbill Valve for Hydrocephalus Treatment Academic Background Hydrocephalus is a complex pathological condition characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cranium due to an imbalance between CSF production and absorption. This accumulation leads to increased intracranial pressu...
