Cost of Hydrocephalus in New Delhi: Detailed Overview

Hydrocephalus Treatment cost in New Delhi for Indian Patients is between USD1750 to USD2450.

Patient has to stay in the hospital for 7 days and outside the hospital for 5 days. The total cost of the treatment depends on the diagnosis and facilities opted by the patient.

A condition of the brain where the cerebrospinal fluid is being accumulated abnormally in the brain and ventricles is called hydrocephalus.

This extra fluid tends to put pressure on the brain and nervous system, causing a lot of trouble and symptoms like

  • Headache
  • Large head size
  • Seizures
  • Loss of speech and control

Large head size is seen in infants as their skull bone is not fused.


To treat hydrocephalus, immediate drainage of CSF fluid is arranged by surgically inserting a tube or shunt to drain out the excessive fluid.

This tube is monitored till the symptoms subside and the patient is kept on regular follow-up.

Medicines are given which are diuretic in nature and help in flushing out the excessive fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions Related to Hydrocephalus Cost

MRI scans and CT scans are required to confirm a diagnosis of hydrocephalus present from birth, and that develops later in children and adults. 

All the medicines are included in the package during the time frame when the patient is in the hospital. The medicines that are consumed outside the hospital when the patient is discharged are not covered in the package.

Two surgical treatments are used to treat hydrocephalus: surgical shunt implantation and endoscopic third ventriculostomy. After the shunt implant, you will be observed for 24 hours and need to stay in the hospital for 2-4 days. You also need to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days after the endoscopic third ventriculostomy. The first follow-up after these surgeries is scheduled after 3 months, and a CT scan or MRI should be done at that time. If you have hydrocephalus, you need a shunt system for regular monitoring for the rest of your life.

A typical child who receives a shunt requires 2-5 operations throughout their life to maintain it. Some children require a single operation while others have numerous shunt revisions, sometimes several in one year. Children might need an occupational therapist specializing in therapy to develop everyday skills. It is a lifelong condition that requires long-term care and lifelong follow-up. While recovering from hydrocephalus surgery, it is recommended to avoid any strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.

Luckily, individuals diagnosed with hydrocephalus are qualified for a traditional term or whole life insurance policy.

There is no alternative treatment, and the standard treatment is the surgical implantation of a shunt. It redirects cerebrospinal fluid to another part of the body.
